is there a shortcut for Clip content? It would be handy to have one for quickly entering and exiting layers that are hidden by Clip content.
Hi Harald!
There’s no specific shortcut for this, however, you can use the Quick Actions menu to toggle clip content.
Once you use it, it will appear as a previously used command and you’ll be able to toggle it pretty quickly by hitting Cmd/Ctrl + P and then Enter.
I suggest that a shortcut for ‘Clip content’ is added.
Thanks for your quick reply and suggestion. My preferred workflow would still be to have a separate shortcut. If Figma displayed clipped content in an alternative way, like f.ex. some sort of automatic hide/reveal of clipped content then that would enable a fast workflow. Currently, toggling seems to be the only way to view and edit clipped layers.

I agree. It would definitely speed up my workflow if there was a ‘Clip Content’ / ‘Unclip Content’ shortcut. 💯
+1 for the Toggle Clip Content.
- I had to create a macro that pastes the text on to the Cmd + P bar and then presses Enter.
- It used to be on the menu, Figma team removed it, don’t know why.
- At least, put it on the menu again, so I can simulate the menus through a simpler macro.
I presume everyone clips/unclips contents of selected frame a lot; however there is no keyboard shortcut for it as per my knowledge.
Would be time-saving to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle clip/unclip for selected frame.
Hey @Ajith_R, thank you for your feedback! Others in the community have requested something similar. I am going to change the Category into “Share an Idea” and merge your topic so you can vote on the main page.
