FIXABLE OR NOT?I find that I now cannot use mose wheel to scroll when dragging a layer in the Layers panel.The only way to do so is to drag the layer to the top/bottom of the list like when using a touchpad.I HATE IT!It takes concentration to control how fast the scrolling is (how close i bring the layer to the edge of the list) and it doesn’t feel precise enough. Especially if the layers panel is made smaller/shorter.Scrolling with a mouse wheel is consistent and I am used to it enough for doing without much looking at the panel.Please tell me that it is some setting that I have accidentaly checked and that I can return my mouse wheel scroll.layers panel 

Figma needs a glyph panel to access glyphs per specific font. Photoshop and Illustrator have this feature and it is a necessity for typographic design. Having to leave Figma and go to Photoshop or Illustrator is incredibly inefficient. Implementing better type setting tools within Figma would be a major improvement

make it so like you can add margins/padding in texts objects, like u can in vscode. example of what i mean:https://youtu.be/57ufN6eJPDs i think it will be very useful; maybe what can be done is that u can add more properties under the alignment tools for the margin control

Hi everyone,I often run into an issue when creating components: I want certain properties to be mutually exclusive.For example, inside a component (most of the time it’s a product card), I have Block A, Block B, and Block C, each controlled by a boolean toggle. If I want to switch from A to B, I have to manually turn B on and A off. This quickly becomes tedious, especially with multiple options.While variants are an alternative, they become impractical when dealing with many of this mutually exclusive choices, and they add too much complexity and file size.Conditional logic could also work for this but it is such a pain to do for this simple and recurent use case that I consider it as not a viable option for a day-to-day workflow. Feature Idea:It would be great to group boolean properties so only one can be active at a time—like a set of radio buttons instead of multiple independent toggles.Would this help your workflow too? What do you think?

Not just for those who are studying or have a solo design system, figma pricing is aredy to high to not have features to another planos 

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

Unified Variable Mode Switching Across LibrariesWhen multiple published libraries contain variable collections with identical collection names and identical mode names (for example: collection “Theme”, modes “Light” and “Dark”), Figma currently shows a separate mode switch for each library.It would be much more efficient if Figma detected matching collection and mode names and presented a single switch to the user. Changing the mode would automatically update all matching libraries at once.This would greatly simplify multi-library design system setups where core tokens, and product-specific tokens are split into separate libraries (and different design teams) but share the same theming structure.

Is it possible to obtain a free subscription to the Professional package for non-profit organizations, and what evidence is required for this? Thank you for your response!

Hello ! Everything is in the title 🙂 I really do think that Figma should work on a functionality that would allow designer to insert icons/images/etc into text content while keeping the responsive aspect of our design. Waiting for that update so bad, but if anyone has a hack to do it, I am aware! I already tried using auto layout but I had to split my text and it is painful when I want to make changes… Most of Adobe softs know how to do it. Ask them to share their knowledge, haha! Please Figma, read me. Hear me. Do it. ^^ Thanks!

I have hacked my way to do this Drop Cap on Figma but I think it’ll be a good feature to consider under the typography property.

I wish that the badge was able to trail behind the text and wrap to the next line, as if it’s part of the text. Right now, the only way I can make this happen and still be responsive is to give each word its own textbox and let the container with the words & badge wrap, but that surrenders my ability to use ellipsis.

Would be nice to have the ability to insert a UI component that sticks to the end of multi-line text similar to how the ::after function works in html. usage for this in my field is a “caret” (>) or external link symbol following link text. would be helpful for “buttons” as well.

QOL feature request.I will never want AI in my workflow and it’s just kept being marketed to me which takes me out of the flow. It also gets very tedious to block these features one by one with a browser extension.It would be a very useful and friendly feature to make Figma account fully AI-free with a single toggle. I’d make it up to my team members if they want to use AI, so I wouldn’t make this a team/org level setting.

This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Now that Figma has local variables and modes, is there a way that a component instance variant can changed based on mode? Basically, I have it set up so that when I define my main frame as ‘desktop’ mode, the margins are 32, and when ‘mobile’ mode is chosen they are 16 which is great. However I also have a nav bar, which is very different between desktop and mobile. Previously, i’d create two component variants, (desktop and mobile, but this means I have to change it on every screen manually. Ideally I’d like variants to swap out based on mode (or even frame width)

Please, for the love of God, add a keyboard shortcut for superscripting and subscripting. When I copy legal text over from an outside source, the superscripted trademark and copyright symbols do not carry over as superscripted. It is tedious to have to redo this in Figma and open the menu every time instead of using a keyboard shortcut.

Why doesn’t autolayout support inline layout This kind of design of including rich text elements (spans), icons, emojis, chips, and images inside a block of text is becoming increasingly popular and seems like it would be straightforward to implement. Im currently contemplating building a Figma plugin that would split a text block into individual words, then wrap them in a ‘Wrap’ auto-layout frame. This way you could insert arbitrary elements inside the text. @Figma pls

Hello, it would be nice to have the option to insert floating components inside text (like Emojis). Use case would be for signs or infos in complex dashboards. Its a hustle to do this now manually and also set kind of boundingboxes to sync different heighs of text and component. Regards

There’s currently no way to wrap text around an object like an icon, spot illustration, or image. The only solution is to manually break the copy into 2 text boxes and add the second one underneath the icon. We had big plans for our design system to include scaled variants of components where text would need to wrap around icons and spot illustrations to save screen space. So not having this feature makes it hard to design for accessibility and see how components will scale. It’s a little tricky to get the line height right, and also means we can’t easily add scaled variants to our existing design system library. It’s also stopping us from creating a plugin where designers could stress test their designs with larger accessible fonts. Would be great if Figma could add this as a feature. Has anyone else had this issue? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

Fix it Figma team 

I realise some people will laugh at me for this post, that’s ok, I still love you and hope you have a great day :) Hi Figma team, I make a habit of thanking my AI for doing a good job as I’m sure many people do. It’s a natural and good part of being human to express gratitude. It’s also increasingly important that we continue to say thank you as more of our interactions with actual humans are by text and chat only. The way we treat AI can impact the way we treat people.I was wondering if you could please set something up with the AI in Figma so that we aren’t penalised for saying thank you. For example, Agent just did a good job for me, I said “Great job, thank you”, and it cost me 6 credits. We all know Figma credits are expensive and several thank you’s a day add up.How about a rule that detects if the message is under say 50 characters and it includes - thank you, thankyou, thanks, good job, great job, appreciate (etc) - it gets a free pass? It’s flagged as a thank you message and n

When adding components to a Slot and attempting to surface nested properties I see a message that nested properties can not be surfaced with Slots. This severly limits their usefulness to us since we are creating multiple composable components using sub components with properties and having to drill in to each instance in a multi-item Slot is very time-consuming.

I’m working with a team on a large project, and we have a complex file structure. Removing the file previews has made it much harder to navigate our file system. Each group of files has its own color; previously, you could just glance at the main screen and understand where to go or see the file name in the preview. With only the folder icon and name, it’s much harder to remember where something is located. Please give us the option to revert to the previous interface with clear file previews.  

Hello,I am looking to create a good hero section for my site, where it should take the height of browser in the first fold. The subsequent sections can be of fixed heights based on content. I need something like 100vh to have for my hero section.
