I wish I could zoom the Figma UI without also zooming the canvas. That is all.

Hi Angie. Unfortunately, that doesn’t solve the issue. Doing as you suggest also zooms in the canvas, so at 100% zoom, you’re not actually viewing your frames at 100%, thus forcing designs to be outside of the pixel grid. This is really noticeable on non-retina screens.

Me toooo it’s so inconvenient. I was so happy about UI zoom for my bad eyes, but not being able to see the design at the correct size makes zero sense.

+1 Yes this is very important addition to have. It ‘s very annoying if you have a larger monitor with e.g. 200% OS scaling where you want to still have the canvas match closely what the “end product” will look like, but want the user interface to remain usable size. Now if if you scale the interface too much the canvas becomes way too large and hard to work on.
