I would love a back/forward button similar to Safari or Chrome where I can navigate through folders and files on the home page.

Great idea. I want a back button inside a Figma Design file as well. That way it will be much easer to navigate through a complex document.

Please provide back and forward buttons in Figma.
This will help us when we are working with multiple pages in Figma.

sometimes we traverse multiple pages for prototyping or copying something.
At that time finding each page and traversing each page was a little bit hard. So these buttons can be helpful.

Reference: Slack Desktop application.

Ditto, this would save a TON of time and help those of us with fading memory…

How does’t this have more votes?
Actually what I want is a +P command and a new section “navigation” added to the keyboard shortcuts map.

IMO hitting the “Return to instance” button is way to frequent/essential as an action to be a button forcing users have to move their mouse all the way to that 1% real estate on the screen.

Is there a fix for this that I’m not yet aware of?

Please. Please add this. 

I currently use the ‘back button’ figma plugin, but I have to remember to turn it on. It’s always after I get lost in a large file that I remember to turn it on. I would really like if this functionality just worked exactly the same - goes back to the last clicked element.
