Hi! We need a fast function to create an instance with a shortcuts when a component is selected (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + I) , especially to create the first instance when a component is just created.
It is very slow to do this via assets or component search.
We really need this feature! What do you think?

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

As a workaround, when you have just created a new component, you can click to this component and use the shortcut ‘Command+D’ , this will duplicate automatically the component as an instance.

O thanks a lot! I just checked and saw that it works for simple components, but doesn’t for components with variants inside. Do you have some advise for that?
