Question

Change the default Scale tool input value


Peter46

This is tiny, but would help tremendously to be efficient with keyboard in Figma.

 

Every time I’m changing icon size (or any other size) I use multiples of 4px. Here’s the process:

  • Select {{element}} e.g. icon
  • Press ‘k’ to activate scale tool
  • Default active input is the multiples, but it’s harder to figure out what is the multiple of getting from 24 px to 20 px as opposed to writing 20 px in the input
  • When you press tab it iterates over anchors and eventually get you to the top of the menu, so you have to use mouse to click above to either Width (W) or Height (H)

  •  

Proposed solution: Make the default active input width, if people need to use multiples, they can use tab twice.

Alternatively: Make multiple (1x) the first input, so that you can Tab to width and height.

 

This would save me so much time on a daily basis 🙏
