With Spotify’s New Year listen recap as inspiration, it would be great if Figma could have a highlight reel of the work you did in Figma. Projects you worked on, comments you checked off, timelines. This would be so helpful for performance reviews too!

I noticed while adding documentation in our prototype flows, that Figma detects Markdown a bit too good sometimes 😅 Provided recording below: What I wanted to do: Type something that is FORMATTED_LIKE_THIS Instead, what I got: The text renders into FORMATTINGLIKETHIS Is it possible to have a preview mode for the description or just have a way to escape the underscore character in descriptions?

I think it’d be a great idea to have a feature that allows users to reply to individual comments in a comment, like a thread. This would be helpful for when you have, say, 5 comments in a single comment and need to respond to each of them.

Today I can use Enter / Shift + Enter to go in / out one level when selecting an element. If the element has child elements, I can use Tab / Shift + Tab to rotate through the child element’s siblings. However, when navigating multiple elements with child elements, the Tab / Shift + Tab shortcut does not work to rotate through the siblings. @Svarry describes this well here: How to navigate between sibling layers? Ask the community Currently, you can press enter to go down one step in layers, and shift-enter to go up. That’s really useful, but completely pointless when there’s multiple layers at same level, and you need to select only one of them. Is it possible to somehow select only first in the list, or navigate to next sibling? Because right now, when I enter into a deeper layer, it selects all layers within making any kind of manipulation impossible. Having the ability to navigate child elements in bulk would be immensely useful and make the existin

It would be great if add the left Alt functionality with the right Alt button too.

In FigJam, it is very inconvenient for me to create something like a user journey, which keeps growing horizontally, and having to extend ONE LINE AT A TIME. can I just select 10 horizontal lines and extend them ONLY horizontally when clicking on a vertical edge of the bulk bounding box? The current feature extends both the horizontal line AND the vertical space between them, in scale, NO MATTER WHERE I CLICK. The horizontal length and vertical intervals should ONLY extend both X and Y length when clicking on the corner selector. This has been a very frustrating experience.

I am new to Figma plugin development. I want to read the HTML file using filereader instead the code.js. I have installed the filereader using npm. now I am facing below error while using require to import the package. As I came to know the require is not supporting in Figma. Kindly suggest the possible way to import the filereader package.

@Figma_Team1 Could we get a markup tool similar to those in Zoom screen shares? Except whatever you draw stays on the screen. It would be great to have another “layer” on top of our files to illustrate flows, etc. It would be incredibly helpful during a screen share with my team. Thanks!

I tried to make multilingual interface with russian and english languages. But sometimes i can’t use variables because text has this strustrure: WORD+NUMBER (or symbol) like Contract: 3331242143. In this example i only need to use token on a word CONTRACT but without numbers and “:” in token. I think we need a way to use token in part of text block

• Be able to save to the same library from multiple files • Be able to add notes to a component in the library (e.g. a note to devs on how a component should function) • Be able to view the library full screen as a UI toolkit • The full page site styles overview you used to have (or maybe it was sketch that had it?) User story Currently, I’m working on an app, I split the Figma pages by ticket so it’s clear what the devs need to be looking at. But, if a new component appears on multiple pages I then need to copy the note to the devs on to each of those pages (It doesn’t make sense to create a design for a new page in my UI library because that should just be for components)

Although it’s a small function, I think it will be useful. When selecting a grouped element, display the number of elements in the group at the top

Hello Figma Community, I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been an avid user of Figma for UI design, and I recently encountered a situation where a small enhancement to the stroke feature could significantly improve the user experience. To illustrate my suggestion, I’ve created a visual representation that I’ve attached to this message. Enhancement Suggestion: Currently, when working with strokes in Figma, when i wanted to add a stroke that is not attached to any frame or element, i have to make an invisble frame and make it a little bit larger than the child item. This can sometimes lead to issue while prototyping with smart animate and others. Proposed Solution: I suggest implementing a new gap feature. This would let us to add gap between the elements and storke. Visual Representation: I believe that this enhancement would not only streamline the design process for many users but also contribute to the overall efficiency and user-friendliness of Figma. I’m excited about the co

Hello, I would like to fix this window with palettes, because in large design systems when changing palettes or making any edits must constantly check colors + edit their names, and the constant opening of the window after selecting a frame or object looks not user friendly. I know that now is being developed window of options and variables, but it is in beta and does not have the ability to upload to json, it is 2 approaches, it turns out that both ways of working with a large number of variables is not yet brought to mind. I would like to propose a solution without additional plugins, so that unloading goes to json in both options + there is a fix for the current palette.

We use links to the frames in documentation. Sometimes we need to reorganize the file and it require the frame to be moved to another page. It could be good to save it’s url the same as it was before when we use cut and paste option.

こんにちは。私はFriends of Figma Shigaのタカと言います。FigjamのBGMについて追加できる機能はないのでしょうか？同じBGMで作業やディスカッションをする場合今のままだと聞き飽きてしまいます。オリジナルで必要な場合、私は海外からレコードなどをリリースしている99Lettersのプロデューサーであり、いくつかの楽曲を提供することも可能です。このようなアイデアはここに投稿することはあまり良くない場合、直接メールすることも可能です。Figma愛を込めて。taka

Currently format {{time}} ago is ok, but sometimes it’s needed to see the absolute time when the comment had been pasted. Especially when there are a lot of comments on one screen and it’s important to see which one pasted earlier

“ultra dark mode” setting in the future? Some of us who spend long hours designing would love an even darker [dark mode] option to minimize eye strain in low-light environments.

Sometimes products with sidebar menus need grids for specific frame sizes. It is convenient to use Stretch, but there is one nuance. Column sizes can become decimalized (because the original frame without the sidebar is not divisible by 12). This problem can be solved by compensating one of the sides with indents. In Figma unfortunately this functionality is not available, and should be added I think. On the screenshot I drew a concept of how it could be

I have a coworker who doesn’t name their frames, and I mostly do design system stuff so constantly name everything to make sure things play nicely with variants. Currently, any time I paste a piece of their design into a file I’m working on, the next frame I make gets named something like Frame 8476. This is hugely disorienting when I’m expecting it to be Frame 1! And even after renaming their top-level frame, it still makes my newest frame title be Frame 8476, with no way to get it back to counting from Frame 1 unless I delete what I copy/pasted. Would love this to change!

I’ve created a illustration using FigJam during a brainstorming. I had then the need to use this in a Figma setup… But then the forms could not be assigned variables to change the colors to the DS colors, and then some of the FigJam forms or arrows do not work with the rest of Figma. A better integration to link productions within FigJam to be used within Figma would be very useful.

As a designer creating a Figma file for mobile developers I want to be able to set the necessary export formats for all mobile platforms and for all device screen size once and for all so that any asset I would like to provide in my designs would use the same export formats without having to reset it for each assets

I’m excited to do some blocking out for 2023 and wanted to get ideas out quickly using the FigJam calendar template. Bummer that it just defaults to 2022, when it’s about to be 2023. What if folks on an academic calendar want to plan over a school year, or anyone who has a specific date window, for that matter? It would be great to be able to set some calendar parameters to generate in the style of the existing template - it’s nice and simple. Tried a variety of calendars using the AI generator - all thumbs down.

I’m working on a guide plugin. Adding guides while the rulers are hidden is confusing because nothing appears to happen. I’ve built this plugin in multiple other apps where they all support a way to show/hide guides. In those cases, I show the guides when new guides are added. I’d love to do that in Figma as well.

Long unused plugins can lead to forgetting the product’s usage scenarios, even though it has a detailed description of the portal. Why not consider inserting “user-defined content” in the next line of the plugin?

There are older posts about this, with Figma acknowledging that the feature isn’t available. But as the app continues to push out really impressive sets of new features, I wanna surface the request for the ability to scroll content with a frame that is acting as an overlay. The scrolling stuff works perfectly on a frame, but as soon as you set that frame as an overlay…nothing. I’m working on apps that utilize side panels for additional content, and not being able to scroll in them is a real bummer.
