Thought that I’d suggest adding a percentage indicator on the linear gradient colour selector. When I’m adjusting the colours in my linear gradient track, I’d like to know the precise location where my colours are on the track - a feature currently not included. If the far left of that track is 0, the far right is 100, and I have a colour marker near the middle then I’d like to know if my middle marker is at 50, or 51, or 49. This allows me to be precise with my colours when creating new gradient templates that I can then use throughout my projects. Thanks

When you make a rule guide in Dev move you should be able to copy the px Value that gives you.

I’m prototyping a piece of music making hardware, with certain functions being triggered by combination button presses. I’m using a the iOS companion app to test out interactions, and I thought I could use a combination of variables and if/else conditions to register button combinations. But I’m running into a problems, as it doesn’t appear the Figma prototypes support multitouch? EXAMPLE Button1 is a shift button, and I have it setup so my boolean variable ‘Shift’ is set to ‘true’ on touch down, and ‘false’ on touch up. In other words, ‘Shift’ should be true while I press Button1, and that works fine. Button2 is a mode selection button, that should activate one mode when pressed, and another if Button1 is held. Button2 works fine enough on its own, but nothing happens if I’m simultaneously holding down Button1. This indicates to me that Figma prototypes only supports one touch input at a time. Is this true, or am I doing something wrong? I’ve tried googling it, but I can’t find specif

I think it would be useful to have a time/date stamp tool for collaborative teams. It can help people understand when some items on a board were last touched or updated, which is especially useful for content.

It would be great if you could do some rework on the prototype panel in order to make it more accessible and easy to use, especially when dealing with conditionals. You want an MVP for that? Just allow us to resize the panel, that would already be a massive improvement. Having scroll up and down constantly is a waste of time and leads to quickly lose track of what we’re doing Just look at how much we have to scroll in a simple prototype 😅 Cheers!

Command + W / Right-clicking and closing works, but would be nice to have a close button similar to other tabs.

I think there should be an easily accessible feature to select similar items that are currently hidden.

When I am working with my employer, we refer to another comment in the file all the time. Most of the time it’s older comments so it would be great to use “#CommentNumber” on a comment and click on that hashtag to quickly jump to that comment. This would greatly improve my workflow and maybe everyone else who communicates with comments.

I keep forgetting that it’s a version history screen and trying to modify the design. I want to receive a notification that if I try to modify the design on the version history screen, it cannot be modified. With these notifications, I will be able to quickly recognize and cope with what is called a version history screen.

Hello, importing TIFF images is only available while using Safari for now, and this is pretty annoying because when you try to import multiples images with some formats not take in charge there is no error message By exemple during my work i imported a database on Figma with .jpg .pdf and .tiff I got an error message only for 1 pdf file, and the others no And few hours later when i finished my work, i just realised that a bunch of files weren’t imported, without i got any error message about it. To resume: Add TIFF support everywhere (Google, Safari, Figma App, etc) Add multiple error messages while importing elements

When I create a typo style, I want to apply a default color to the typo style so I can win some time.

Our org is using Azure DevOps for ticketing, pipelines, allTheThings, etc. You can place a link to a figma file, but you cannot embed rich Figma frames into tickets. This would dominate…as work tickets are used as the source of truth for developers, product, and so on - and having the real up-to-date design asset embedded into the ticket (like Jira) would be of infinite value. Many thanks!

Being able to quickly preview windows from other open files would be really useful when switching between files. It would save time having to fully open each file to see the contents. A suggestion would be to add a shortcut button (like Ctrl+ Tab) that pops up a window previews from all open files. This would let you see an overview of each file without having to fully switch over. You could then click on a preview to open that file. This would be especially helpful for people working on multiple related designs or prototypes at once. Has anyone else found it would speed up their workflow to get a quick glimpse of other open files? Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this idea! I think a preview window feature could help streamline file switching.

Unordered lists have an indentation, but numbered lists don’t. I’ve tried everything to make it work, but can’t. Maybe I’m missing something but would love this to work as expected 🙂

Hello, I would like to suggest an idea: When working with others designer simultaneously, it could be handy to add a poll to a comment / thread and let the others give back preferences when we hesitate over multiple concepts.

Figma prototyping desperately needs some more functionality to keep up. It’s good, don’t get me wrong and we can hack a lot of interactions together. If we just got timeline animation (think Principle) it would have the super powers needed to keep up with framer/origami with 1/4 the effort.

Hi y’all. I was thinking, why do the titles for frames scale when you zoom? If I had the option to set them at a fixed point size, that would be nice. For instance, if I wanted to make all of my frame titles stay at 9, then I could input that option in some settings, and then when zooming in and out of the board, the frame titles would stay the same height. I could turn this option off if I wanted. Thank you for considering!

While prototyping, if you draw a connection to a new frame you get a popup with a bunch of transition options like “on click”, “on drag”, “delay”, etc. It can take a bit of time to set this up for each transition. The problem is, every time I draw a new connection, I have to reselect every choice even if all I want to do is create another transition of the same kind. This makes creating long flows, especially those that rely on delays and have a lot of similar screens, really cumbersome to create. Suggestion: Preserve menu selections for each user per project file, don’t reset the popup menu. For example: User creates a new connection and sets it to Delay (10ms), Smart Animate (Ease Out, 100ms). User creates another connection, it is already set to the same settings so the user doesn’t have to do anything more than draw a new connection. (Delay 10ms, Smart Animate: Ease Out 100ms is already set) Include an option to revert this setting and reset the menu, for those who prefer the orig

On the web, we create components based on font-size by utilising the em unit. A Button’s padding or margin, or maybe even fixed height for example is relative to its font-size. This is not possible in figma at the moment, but an essential paradigm in current modern UI/UX design. Small Elements with a single text line can at least have their height (or vertical padding) be font-size relative, by setting a %-based line-height, but this fails on the horizontal axis, where we have no way of making anything font-size relative. This would be fine to be confined to auto-layout for the start imo. Having more relative units that mimic mediums like the web platform would be great in general, but maybe being able to define spacing/padding as 2em to have it relative to font-size would be a good start. Of course implementing the cascade would be even better, but I think confining font-size relative sizing for certain attributes in components would be enough to start. It would bring figma closer to

I think it would be better to have a dedicated ‘Variables’ panel not just a ‘local variables’ button. Fix: View menu boolean to toggle on/off of variables panel or change ‘local variables’ to just ‘variables’. The variables can be segmented by local/library or by filename using a file tree or drop down within the variables panel or modal.

We use Design System components in Figma. When we hand off frames for development, QA also uses them to verify implementation. As the implementation is happening, we might continue working on the project, making additions or changes to the design. While that happens, some master components might change. As we want to keep the number of files for each project to a minimum, we work on the handoff file on a ‘work in progress’ page. This means that if we update our component library (pull the updates for the design system library) or make changes to any master components used in the file, that will automatically update those components in ‘ready for dev’ frames too. If we detach the components, so that they don’t get updated, then we lose the opportunity to add properties through annotations. So that’s a bummer… It would be awesome if with the ‘ready for dev’ toggle we could also freeze the component updates (meaning prevent them from happening)

Hi, sometimes it would be useful for me in the desktop app when opening a new tab with cmd+t to be able to paste a Figma link in the search bar and open the file with enter. I use the search bar a lot, it’s been a great idea and is awesome when working with a lot of files! ❤️ @Kapil_Moon Alternatively it would be great to have this option to open in desktop app immediately, unfortunately it does not work with multiple accounts. @dvaliao Link Post @Geiras_ES @tank666 @Kyrylex @Hazel Connected Topics: Feature request: insert figma links into desktop app Share an idea When my co-worker sends me a Figma link, I want to open it in the desktop app immediately. Currently I have to click the link, wait until it is opened in the browser and then wait for a suggestion to open the document in the desktop app, which appears in ~30% of cases. Instead, I could copy the link, paste it into the search field of my desktop Figma client and see it opening right i

Quality of Life request. Can Figma’s variant panel be smarter to understand when there’s a nested instance that is toggleable and has been allowed to expose it’s variants? It would greatly help designers find the component in the list as they’re turning them on versus hoping the component creator named both the toggle and layer the same. Example
