Preserving style/formatting when Copy/pasting text layers between files

It would be a big time saver to preserve the style and formatting of a text layer, when copying and pasting it from one file to another file. Right now the paste operation loses all formatting and I have to re-format the text all over again.

Can't select objects that don't have a fill

I’m not able to select layers that are visible, but don’t have a fill applied to them. This seems like bug level to me, and I noticed a couple of threads that bring the issue up but have been closed without any updates. This really hinders me in trying to create quick prototypes where I’m working off Sketches or screenshots and don’t have the time to fully recreate a design. I’ll usually draw invisible boxes to use as click areas. Unfortunately if I do this I can’t select any of them directly, and instead have to hunt for them in the layers panel. Please fix this! It shouldn’t be the same thing as hiding a layer!

Make Collaboration (editing) between paid accounts free

PROBLEM: Currently, if you and a user outside of your team both have paid Figma accounts, and you need the other person to be able to edit your file, you need to pay for A THIRD account. i.e. For TWO freelancers to edit the same Figma file, you need to pay for THREE Figma accounts. This is clearly a terrible customer service experience and I suspect it’s a common issue as you’ll see from Figma’s own Product Support team response below. SOLUTION: The ideal workaround would be to offer free editing when both accounts are paid. Alternatively, if it’s an expensive service to provide, it seems reasonable for Figma to charge a clear fee (e.g. Editing collaboration: $2 per file per month, or $5 per project per month). Please upvote and add to the discussion. For reference, here’s my last message from Figma’s Customer Support, who are clearly trying to help solve this problem: Hey there Paul, Thanks for reaching back out. Again, all editors in your team space are billable to you. Even if Robin

Good functions to add in FigmaJam

I’ll share some ideas that i had and think that would be helpful on FigmaJam Guide ruler: this ruler would be able to use horizontally or vertically (90º or 180º) and only the person who added the ruler could see it on the page. It would help to organize and keep things aligned, even if the object (shape, sticky note, text, etc.) is in diferent sections. More objects can be rotated. I like using post-its, widgets, washi tape and other things, but it’s annoying not being able to rotate them… Because not leaving all the objects at 90º keeps, in my point of view, the page more visually pleasing

Preserve component name when creating variants

@Manuel_Barrio said it here: Fix naming when creating component variants The behaviour of adding Variants to components should not change depending on whether the component name is simple or compound (using slashes). The component naming using slashes should not be used to determine the name and quantity of variants created when using Property > Create Variant. Adding a Variant to a component should always just add 1 new Variant and leave the component name as the user intended it. It is a much more common use case to add variants to a component already in use than to create a bunch of variants based on a component’s naming structure. Workaround: cut the component name and replace with a letter, then create the Variant, name the variant property and then paste the original component name back. As Marco says: “boring”.

Hide / Unhide features on UI3 - Give me preferences on how I want to design

UI3 is getting really good, and if you guys keep adding more and more features this tool will explode and the layout gonna be overloaded — what I want? give me the possibility of hide or unhide features that I use.

Add button and shortcut for fill container

Fill container should be a button. Right now there’s a button and keyboard shortcut for hug, but fill is just as if not more important, yet it has neither a shortcut nor a button. If hug is a button, it also doesn’t make any sense for unclicking it to do nothing. You could easily add functionality to switch between states (either hug/fill or hug/fill/fixed) by pressing the button. Instead, currently you can click it once to hug, and then click again to do nothing. Please add a fill button or make the hug button more functional!

PLEASE add keyboard shortcuts for auto layout options

I change width and height of frames about a million times a day. Every time I have to go to those two dropdowns to change width or height to fill/fixed/hug or to change the direction, I just wish someone at Figma would see the click events on these thing and help our dying productivity out with shortcut keys. (in the new UI they are even harder to locate with position moving all the time due to component settings changing height above them!)

Enhancing Collaboration Between Paid Users

As a passionate user, I truly love Figma for its powerful capabilities and the way it fosters creativity and collaboration. However, I am very frustrated with the current direction the platform is going, particularly with the added financial and administrative barriers for collaboration among paid users. To ensure seamless and frictionless cooperation among Figma users, we propose the following adjustments to the current collaboration and billing model: Unrestricted Collaboration Among Paid Users: Allow users with paid subscriptions (e.g., Professional, Organization plans) to collaborate on team files without additional costs. This means that if a freelancer or agency with a paid subscription joins a team project, there should be no need to pay for extra design seats, as all parties are already contributing financially to the platform. Temporary Paid Seats for Non-Paying Users: Continue offering the option to add temporary paid seats for non-paying users. This is a great solution f

Option to expose or hide nested component properties

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

Keyboard shortcut to duplicate in place (without offset)

Default Ctrl+D behavior, when duplicating an object, is to repeat the last offset that was used on the object. While this is super useful in many cases, there are very often situations, where I don’t want this behavior, or where Figma isn’t able to correctly reproduce the offset (like when rotations are involved). In those cases, it would be nice if there was an alternative keyboard shortcut that just does “Duplicate in Place”. Afaict, Ctrl+Alt+D for instance is not used, and would be a good candidate. If I am missing an existing feature, pls let me know!

LAUNCHED: Toggle Constraints

I noticed something frustrating with the UI3 updates. The “Constraints” settings are hidden behind a tiny button within the Position section of the right sidebar. Maybe the Figma team felt like these settings were rarely used, but they are critical when you’re working with items that are absolutely positioned, and want to control how they resize relative to their parent. It would be nice to see these settings surfaced at the top level when the selected item is either absolutely positioned within an auto-layout frame, or the child of a frame without auto-layout.

Increase the contrast of prototyping noodles

The light (light!) blue of prototyping noodles makes them very hard to see. Please increase the contrast and/or have them dynamically adjust based on their background similar to how frame names will change based on background contrast.

Export with Device Frame

I spent a good amount of time searching for mockups that match the ones I’m presenting my work in. The device frames presented by Figma are exactly what I’m looking for. There should be an option to “Export with Device Frame”. The prototyping feature does already has a lot of device mockups with pretty good quality to showcase designs. Does anyone else feel that this would save them a lot of time?

Problems with the Figma interface and suggestions for changes

Hello, Figma teams I really like your product, but its design often makes me sad, even the new one (which is still unavailable to me) Why do you use such small fonts and icons? Why do you have such weak accents in fonts, why are you so afraid to use normal sizes of buttons, windows and everything else? Here is my project, in which I pointed out several problems of the new interface and offered my solution (https://www.figma.com/design/R3MNzdcnUOSn5Z7bDm8QRf/Projects-%2F-Figma?node-id=5138-1781&t=FCL0qP4CvH2WwbL4-1) See how beautiful and comfortable Figma can be for the eyes if you use interface elements and fonts of normal sizes I’ve already sent you a similar message, but no one has entered my project, apparently you haven’t seen it, so I’m sending it again

Dynamic Component Resizing for from frame to another

I’d love to see a feature (or plugin/AI) where, if I’m working on a frame for desktops and then switch to something specific like a MacBook frame, the component sizes would dynamically adjust to fit the new frame. It’d save a ton of time versus having to manually resize everything every time.

Stop inserting end quotes in my ^&@*! strings!

Every time I try to type a long string value into a string via Set Variable, the interface “helpfully” tries to end the string, which 99% of the time is not what I want and I find myself fighting against it to get the result I want. I suggest removing this feature or intelligently stopping after the user tries to correct it the first time.

It's 2024 already, time to add the "lock guides" feature, people

hey Figma fam, so, we’ve been going on about this for ages, but seriously, when are we getting the “lock guides” feature? it’s 2024, and we’re still nudging guides by mistake 🙄 we all know the drill - you’re in the zone, designing away, and then oops, there goes your guide. it’s like playing a game of ‘spot the difference’ trying to get it back in place. super annoying. i mean, how many times do we need to ask, right? it’s a no-brainer feature that would make our lives so much easier. locked guides = no more accidental shifts. simple. let’s give it another shot. maybe if we all shout about it (again), Figma will finally listen and add it to their to-do list. who’s with me? catch ya later! flo

Preventing Resizing to Decimal Pixels

I love Figma and have enjoyed used it since the very beginning. It has come on leaps and bounds since since its early days. However, one pain point that continues to frustrate me is the decimal resizing issue, as detailed here almost exactly four years ago - https://spectrum.chat/figma/general/how-to-prevent-decimal-pixels~a6007961-7415-4c1e-9430-7e420491c446 Despite all the other fantastic enhancements in the platform, it is disappointing that this core issue is still present. Even in the latest Playground file (produced by your own team) outlining the latest ‘Copy & Paste’ advancements, you can see the problem firsthand, as per the screenshot below. FAO @Figma & @Figma_Support. Please can I ask that you look at this as a matter of priority. I am sure I am not the only one wasting crucial time, painfully and manually, checking and resizing everything back to integer values. Thank you.

Figma for design system management

My design systems team today is working towards integrating with ZeroHeight to provide documentation across the org. This made me wonder, will Figma ever encompass design systems through to documentation? If Figma had a sub-platform for creating a design system manager (similar to ZeroHeight, DSM), this would really streamline workflows as all assets in Figma would seamlessly translate accordingly. 🤞
