Why don’t we have shortcuts for auto layout directions yet?

It’s been years since this thread started.

+1 to this. Recently received my Work Louder x Figma collab and I really was hoping to control auto layout alignment settings from it. This would make that possible.

I wondered if the Figma shortcut keyboard included auto layout shortcuts. It seems it doesn’t, right?

Please add a shortcut to change direction of autolayout. I do all my designs with that and it would save a lot of time! +1

Why not let us create our own short cuts? Changing direction of auto layout would increase productivity alot!
