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! 🙏

Create Variables Directly from a Component

Description:I would like the ability to create variables directly from a selected component in the canvas or assets panel.  Current Behavior:Currently, to create a variable that references a component, I must manually set it up in the Variables panel, which involves multiple steps and disconnects the workflow from the component itself. Proposed Solution:Enable a right-click option on any component (or an option in the top bar) to “Create Variable from Component.” This would automatically populate the variable name and link the component instance as the value. Benefits: Speeds up design system setup Improves discoverability and adoption of variables Enables more modular and scalable design tokens

Make Annotations visible to everyone

I was going to praise how neat the new Annotation feature is, when I realized the content is only visible to Dev Mode accounts. Are you serious?I understand you want to limit creating annotations to certain seat types, but viewing annotations should be a viewer-level feature. Come on Figma, there are better ways to convince your users to pay for a subscription. This is such a crooked move.

Allow developers to switch Page-level variables (e.g. Light/Dark mode)

We have a design system set up with tokens (variables) to enable all components to switch between light and dark mode. For developers/viewers to see what a screen should look like in Dark mode, we have to duplicate that screen. But as an editor I can set the colour mode variable at the Page level to Dark and all screens on the canvas/page turn to dark mode. If developers/viewers could also do this, I could delete the dark mode duplicates of every screen and only have one copy of each screen, defaulted to light mode, and then just toggle dark mode as needed. This would be much more efficient on memory usage and maintenance.

Alignment and positions

When placing a component (close-button on a pop-up for example) it would be great that the X and Y are relative to the side it’s aligned to. Right now it's always to the LEFT and TOP. If I align it to top/right and then want to have it for example 8px from each side, it would be great to be able to enter X = 8 and Y = 8, would also be great if its possible to use variables in these entries as well.

Variable Menu | Shortcuts

Not being able to use keyboard shortcuts in the variable collections menu/manager can really disrupt the workflow. Sometimes for example, because I’m so used to ‘ctrl/cmd+d’ to duplicate something, I try to duplicate a variable using this and accidentally end up duplicating something in my canvas. Just adding some simple shortcuts would improve the QoL and workflow with variables. Here are some quick examples: ‘esc’ to exit the menu ‘ctrl/cmd+n’ to create a new variable use tab/enter to choose which type of variable ‘ctrl/cmd+d’ to duplicate a variable ‘ctrl/cmd+r’ to rename a variable

"Empty" Auto Layout Frame keeps the size of last hidden child

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?

Why Figma don't have?

It would be a real blessing for both developers and designers if Figma supported downloading all file types, including GIFs and videos.

Allow Percentages in Variables

Please can we get percentages for variables? We can use percentages manually, but we can’t create a percentage as a variable. This would speed up my design to dev process tenfold, and considering we can already use percentages in the design, why disallow it in variables?An example is I want store values for line height and letter spacing as percentages which behave responsively/dynamically, so when creating type variables I don’t have to do manual calculations, store 10+ letter spacing/line height values based on which font size they will be used with and hope I never change the font size variable in the future.

Adjustable/Custom-sized Figma Slides

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

Switch to read-only mode

I get nervous having edit-access to a Figma file sometimes, especially as an engineer. I don’t want to accidentally make a change to something in the file. It would be great if there was a way to switch myself to a read-only mode (temporarily) to avoid accidentally breaking/changing something. For now, I’ve just been creating a new branch. If I change something on the branch, then I don’t need to worry.

Table Atoms for figma

build dashboards almost always ends up with designing tables ,Tables are really tricky in figma you can build atoms but once you want to build rows or columns you have a problem , Columns based organism - allows to add more columns on the fly but fails in prototyping Row based organism - allows creating row components and interactions but fails when wanting to add more columns that is why i suggest building a Table Grid - this will allow users to create both row interactions and add columns - so adding another header updates all the grid .a table grid can also have presets for data types , changing from left to right based on type and numbers .this could greatly improve efficiency in Figma .

Component Boolean - Hide when True

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

"On Scroll" for prototyping

I want to make a prototype where something changes when user scrolls content. I want to keyboard collapse when user starts scrolling content, but it’s impossible to do with drag action. Or it feels unnatural Or am I missing a way to do it with existing tools?

Ctrl + Q Shortcut

Most of the time when I use the shortcut (Ctrl + A), my hand accidentally hits the Q key on the keyboard, causing Figma to close suddenly without any warning or alert.I suggest:Changing the shortcut from (Ctrl + Q) to (Ctrl + Shift + Q).

Official Linux Support

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.

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.

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?
