Auto reverse auto-layout order of display

Auto layout is cool. Thanks Figma! However, to change the display order, one has to manually change the order of each item in the Layer section, which can be annoying when dealing with too many items in the layout. A solution would be to add three layout buttons, right below the current ones, that do just that: reverse the order of display. Much love. I hope this helps! Names of the button and much more on it on my personal blog on Medium: New Figma Auto-Layout Feature. The Problem | by Malik D | Mar, 2024 | Medium

Support vector animations in "smart animate"

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

Display scroll bar in prototype preview mode

There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product. If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options. It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope this get more attention here.

Right Click and Double Click triggers for prototypes

Our app has right click options but are limited to one click only with Figma. Would anyone else be interested in having right vs left click options for prototyping?

Hiding the Quick Create Toolbar

I’m not sure if this is possible, but could you make a feature to hide the quick create toolbar on FigJam? It’s constantly in the way of what I’m trying to see and for some reason the tool bar doesn’t have a move feature. I would greatly appreciate the adjustment, although I know Figjam is still fairly new. I’ll also be posting to the community to see if anyone has found a work around.

Variables need to support changing properties and nested properties (design & prototype)

Example: Variables and modes created for different values at breakpoint sizes Components created with those variables applied In addition to number variables (spacing, widths, etc.), variables for nested property switches are applied per mode to accomplish changes that aren’t currently variable types (scales, font sizes, visibility, etc.) The goal is to allow for components to be responsive via automatic application of property values, whether top level or in nested components. This is primarily of interest to our team in Design mode but I think it would be useful in Prototype mode as well. That way if a component constructed with nested property variables is placed into an “iPad” mode frame, its nested properties also get set to the properties/variants that make the display correct for the iPad mode. Currently without this support, trying to convert components from supporting device sizes via variants to via variables turns into a big mess of some things (spacing, etc.) we can apply

Figma Slides | slider and links

Hi everyone! I have 2 questions about Figma Sildes. 1. Am I blind or there is no slider to move between slides? And you need to scroll through a lot of slides? Any other idea how to do this? 2. I have table of contents on first slide. Is there any way to make it linked to the rest? Like Chapter 1 Blablabla - I clik there and it move me to the fight slide?

Native AVIF export options with compression settings

Need something like this plug-in  to be supported natively. Exports AVIF and allows default presets to be configured with preferred compression and scaling.

Changing the location of annotations on the sheet

It would be a great idea to add the ability to move annotations (сhanging the place). Right now, they’re fixed in place and can overlap other elements. And you cannot change it.What I mean is the ability to reposition an annotation freely while keeping the link to the target object intact.Annotations are a really useful feature—thank you! Previously, I had to create similar functionality using my own objects. Please do not move this offer to another discussion. 🙏Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another?These are different questions.

Pro level vs User level

HiJust wanted to give a general UI Pro feedback.I work with design software for more than 20 years. I adapt very quickly to new options and I consider myself very selective with what I work with. Working with Adobe since the beginning, I added Figma to the toolset a couple of years ago.I have a mix of the best tools (for me) for my line of work: Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects, Bricks Builder, Audition, VS Code, Dreamweaver (stopped using it after nonsense updates) and Figma. I consider myself an advanced user in all of them.This is not to grab myself, it's just to accentuate the fact that I have a strong working instinct and experience with these kind of tools. What they all have in common is the fact that they are built for professionals: optimized for productivity and with a consistent and customizable UI. And that's also the fact they last for so long. Figma appeared in a middle ground. It had a not so professional UI but it had new features and some obvious functio

See where component is used / find component Instances across files

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file Ask the community I am a manager of the design system library in my org and I am trying to find instances of components in other designer files via the Org Libraries options, to see how components are being used. Clicking on a component takes me to the design file, but it doesn’t link to the frame where the component is used, which is what I would expect (even if it’s used in multiple instances, I would want to see at least o

All plans should offer more than 4 variable modes

It would be great if the professional plan offered more than 4 variable modes. Right now I want to set up a mode for each component size-- XS - XL, 5 sizes all together-- which puts me over the 4 limit for pro, but well under the 40 limit for enterprise, which is a quantity I will never need. And there’s no use case for enterprise at all for a team our size. I think 10-12 modes for pro would be perfect to give small teams like mine room to grow before we reach the scale where an enterprise plan would be worth consideration.

Stop automatically adding FigmaAgent to Login Items

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

Summarise all comments into next steps with Figma AI

Have you ever sent over a design file for feedback to open it a week later with 40+ comments? I have and I’m sure you have too. The problemIt takes a lot of time to review comments after a feedback round. It can get repetitive and sometimes the feedback can mean the same thing but being written differently. If you have a lot of different commenters, the list becomes long and tedious to go through. The solutionOne button to summarise comments that will produce out a summary and propose the next steps. Each summary should include links to the root comment so the user can review the original comment. The summary could be in a tab in the comments panel where you can toggle between original comments and summary to easily go back and forth.

Canvas Navigation - Content List and hotspots

Hi I’ve got a “big canvas” habit in Figjam mapping out new project ideas and working through problems.  It would be handy to be able to add fix navigation points in my canvas that I can jump between when talking to a new customer to share my ideas - currently having to do a lot of zooming in and out to find the right spot.Interest if this could be added to the roadmap or whether I’ve missed an existing feature?

Is there a way to export figma buzz elements to SVG?

I can’t figure out how to do this, looks like it might be supported. This keeps the feature from being more usable for me because I need to be able to hand-off some assets as some kind of editable vector image that clients can download and open up on their own programs for any needed touch ups.

Z-index property that is independent from Auto Layout

Currently there is a huge limitation in prototyping possibilities because any dropdown menus appear underneath the following element in the autolayout flow. I can’t remove autolayout because it would break designs across all useage of design system components and we can’t properly demo prototypes. Anchored by the lack of a customizable z-index property.

Key press or key down trigger should exist !

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a prototype in Figma, and I’m trying to achieve the following keyboard-based interaction: When I press the A key, an overlay appears. When I release the A key, the overlay closes automatically. I noticed that Figma’s "Key" trigger only allows actions to be triggered on key press, but I haven't found any way to differentiate between keydown and keyup, like you would with standard JavaScript events.Is there any workaround or trick to simulate this behavior directly in Figma?Or would I need to use an external tool (like ProtoPie, Framer, or a coded prototype) to make this interaction possible?Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏
