The chat function in Figma can be frustrating to use for a couple of reasons, the most glaring are:



  • If I start typing in a chat bubble and need to go look at something in the file before I finish posting, there’s not way to exit out without hitting “send”. Suggested improvement allow a “draft” to save typed text, close the bubble, and reopen it

  • When I hit “enter” to make a new paragraph, the message sends instead. Suggested improvement hitting “enter” breaks to a new line, hitting “tab-enter” will send message (or clicking “send” button)


Thanks for reading!

Hey @Anna86! Appreciate this feedback. I’m passing it over to the team that works on our chat platform.


For your first point: would you think that an option to open the chat in an independent window help with this (so you’re never technically ‘leaving’)? Just want to get more of your thoughts on other solutions that popped up in my head 😅

Yeah, that might be a nice way to do it — maybe you could drag the chat window along with you (like how you can open/move/expand windows in the toolbar, like variables, for example). Then after you finish typing and hit “send” the window goes back to it’s home in the chat thread and stays anchored to it’s spot.
