It would be very cool and convenient if you could control slides and read notes from the Figma app on your phone like Keynote. Maybe other functionality like marking and pointers from there as well

My question is in the title. Can auto-emoji be disabled when typing? For example, when copy-pasting “↔” in a text field, Figma will automatically render the emoji that matches those arrows. Can this (feature?) be disabled somewhere, maybe temporarily? I looked around on https://help.figma.com/ but found nothing about.

I’ve been enjoying using FigJam for prototyping and collaborative brainstorming—it truly makes creativity flow. However, I’d love to see an enhancement that bridges the gap between creative prototyping and technical diagramming.One feature I’m passionate about is the inclusion of official icon sets, and resources for major cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure. Currently, these icons are essential for accurately visualizing cloud architectures, and many other tools, such as draw.io, offer them as a built-in resource. By integrating these official cloud icons, FigJam could become a more robust solution for creating professional and precise architecture diagrams, appealing to teams working on cloud infrastructure and system design.I believe this enhancement would not only streamline workflow but also elevate FigJam’s capabilities to match, or even surpass, existing diagramming tools. Thank you for considering this feature request—I’m excited to see how FigJam evolves!

I just noticed something while transitioning from UI 2 to UI 3, and I’m wondering if others feel the same.Earlier, when using the K (Scale) shortcut, the focus was set in a way that pressing Tab would quickly take you to the width adjustment field. This made it really efficient to scale objects while maintaining precise dimensions.Now in UI 3, pressing Tab inside the scaling option focuses on anchor points first and seems to stay within that section instead of quickly moving to width or height. This small change makes scaling a bit less efficient for me since I now need extra keystrokes to get to the fields I use most.Does anyone else find this workflow slower? Or am I missing something? Would love to hear thoughts from the community!(Figma team, if you're reading this, it would be great if we could have the previous tab focus behavior back!) [Attaching screenshots for reference] 

There is no easy way to copy/paste a line start and end shape when you copy/paste properties between lines in Figma. I use this for creating flow arrows between screens, but it only copies the color, dash/solid, and stroke width. It would be great to include the stroke start and end shapes with these properties so that I didn’t have to set these manually each time I draw a flow arrow.

So, without going into a bunch of specific use case examples, the question is pretty basic; with all the logic and interactive capabilities, why doesn’t Figma just support BASIC state styles for all elements/components?  I mean, I can attach visibility to a variable, but I can’t just set a basic hover state for a box?This makes no sense to me.  I can understand keeping things manageable and not doing a full CSS implementation, but the idea that I have to “roll my own components” just to get something to show a different background color is kind of insane.  I dont want to make components every time I need something in a proto to change in a basic way.  Just draw a box around a core set of universal styling behaviors, attach them to every object by default, and call it a day.TL;DR - Hover states should be a core, definable state by default for every element in Figma, from text to shapes.  Off unless defined, just add the field to the fill, stroke, and other properties (fill has default,

I wanted to share my feedback regarding the upcoming removal of the option to use UI2. As a dedicated user, I strongly believe that maintaining UI2 as a permanent option is essential. I have spent significant time with UI3, and despite giving it a fair chance, I find it less efficient for my workflow. This isn’t a matter of needing more time to adjust; it is a matter of sheer productivity. In UI2, I am noticeably faster and more effective.The feedback and frustrations voiced by others in the community also reflect that not all users are comfortable with switching to UI3. While UI3 has a more polished appearance, it compromises functionality. I appreciate the intentions behind the redesign, but in its current form, it does not match the usability of UI2.I would be perfectly content if UI2 no longer received new features. For me, it has reached a point of feature saturation where it feels complete. The existing capabilities serve my needs perfectly, as I believe they do for many other de

I'm super excited by the idea of leveraging AI to streamline design-to-engineering collaboration at our scale. As the solo designer supporting a 25-person SaaS product team, managing efficient communication with dozens of engineers is challenging. I'd love to create an automation—using n8n—to help interpret design feedback or requests and instantly suggest helpful design system context using AI transformers. Imagine someone writes: “A user is able to easily onboard with self-service into a freemium onboarding flow,” and the AI immediately responds with clear engineering notes like “Use attached design system guidelines 12 (image), 15 (image), and 29 (image),” alongside direct links to relevant Figma asset components and simplified wireframe mockups. This would make our design system truly interactive and proactive, greatly amplifying my effectiveness and allowing engineering teams to confidently jump into implementation with ease. As a designer I could define the rules of the design sy

As in the title. Either I will stay longer at work to do my job or I’ll change to HTML/CSS completely. Want to help? IMPLEMENT TABLES/GRIDS, NOT CRAPPY UI.

I would like to be able to export from Figma slides to PPT and keep the embedded prototype functionality. We are bound to PPT by AV teams at events (out of our hands) but we strongly want to use our prototypes in those PPTs. Our current work around is to record video snippets of someone clicking through the prototype, which is time consuming and needs to be re-recorded any time a change happens in the prototype. I was very excited when I saw the new import/export feature but unfortunately without the ability to embed prototypes we won't be able to use it as much as I’d hoped.

It would be great to have a quick way to copy the hex codes of the library colours. At the moment it’s three steps (click the colour > filter icon > copy hex code. Be great if it could be one click, especially with having to check colours for accessibility regularly.

Hello!! I would like to personalize Section’s borders like on rectangles. Putting color un the top border of the section could be helpful

Some floating window panels in Figma are too small. For example, the color panel. I've created some color variables, but every time I want to select a color, I have to use the scroll bar to find a specific one. It's really exhausting because selecting colors is a frequently performed operation. Why can't we increase the height of these floating windows?

There are already plug-ins for that case but unfortunately they are not usable.The case is:I have a component in which different content can appear (text, input, checkbox etc.) I don’t need/want to create a component with all these options to show/hide as most/all of the designs will have a different set of elements inside. I just need the container to be consistent across the application while the content - freely arranged. This should also allow to place other components in the content zone (that’s the main problem with currently available plug-ins).

When you use Webflow, you always know if this value is a default value set by the system or it got overridden by the user. It’s due to the C in CSS. And it’s awesome!In Figma, there are multiple issues with not knowing and specially not seeing whether I changed a value or not.Two things related to that, really needs improvements is the 10px default value in auto-layout and the 0 to clean out a value, instead of empty the value.In Code, a zero is a value and not empty. (none) In Figma, zero means both. And without a color scheme to see where I applied my values on a main component or only on an instance of it, makes it so difficult to work with. If my developers inspect an element, they don’t know if this is an element with no padding or zero padding. In the best case, I can set my default values (e.g for the auto-layout) with my variables, or they are not existing, and I have to set them myself. And if I define values, they should be marked visually. 

I receive requests to view Figma from persons not within my organization (they are using personal emails which I cannot identify who are them). Suggestion: Allow me to edit and prompt a message when users request to access Figma. This is so that I can put down some conditions for those requestors to be aware not to use personal emails, etc. Or allow me to type in reason of rejection when I reject such request. This is so that such person can be aware why his/her request is rejected.

Using `CMD` and `+ or -` to zoom is too simplistic: it jumps from 50% to 100%. Often, 50% is too zoomed out, 100% too zoomed in. What about 75%?What is the keyboard shortcut to zoom to selected item (as when you double-click a layer)? “Zoom to fit” is for everything, not what I mean.Wacom tablets have a meaningful zoom using the wheel, which helps but it would be better as a keyboard shortcut.

Another QOL Ability to clip content on slides (or even just on export) so that the content outside the slide is not in the pdf

Please include REM as a mode of measurement as it is becoming more and more used by developers. Having to manually convert the measurement is so tedious.

When restoring a component, it should merge more seamlessly with the system. There should be an option to retain or discard modifications made to the original component. This is because sometimes I integrate a component more deeply into the system while still needing to keep certain text and details unique to each page.

It bothers my OCD to no end that the first item pasted into a page is not given the coordinates of x:0 y:0

I would love more spelling functionality. Currently, I need to select text to see spelling mistakes. It would be great if Figma would notify me of spelling errors by a search or a little pop up/count.

Implement variable font property in plugin API and rest api Unfortunately it is not possible to get the complete properties for variable fonts via API access. Please implement the CSS property “font-variation-settings” for “wght”, “wdth”, “slnt” … “opsz” Or have I overlooked something, how do I get the information via the APis?

Hello! We’re using quite a lot the underline styling for text in our interface designs, and copying text properties do not also copy the underline decoration details, like Thickness and Offset.Would it be possible to define a reusable style for underline decoration to keep things consistent and efficient?Many thanks!

A component’s playground dialog, only accessible via traversing through Figma’s UI.Allow sharing a direct link to a component playground, not unlike how you can share Storybook links such as this.The job to be done is to spare devs (or anybody, really) the drudgery of schlepping through Figma’s UI just so they can see how a component was designed to work.Not sure if this functionality already exists, I couldn’t find any documentation for it.
