Define default padding for Auto Layout (or set to 0)

So frustrating to have multiple extra steps when adding an auto layout frame. Having to manually remove or change 4 different parameters.

I understand the intent is to teach new users how auto layout works, but surely there is a better way that doesn’t impact the workflow of people who know how to use the feature!

You mean the default values of 8px right? Yes this is really time consuming and frustrating having to remove those manually multiple times a day. It actually should default to 0.

+1 for default padding.

My excitement from learning the shortcut Shift + a was short-lived when I realized Figma automatically added 8px padding to my frames created this way. If the goal of adding the default 8px padding is to demonstrate how auto layout works for newer users, then it would be great to allow users to adjust this default padding, as a lot of us end up spending hours a day in the product.

For now, I’m selecting at least 2 objects before applying auto layout via the shortcut, which seems to give me 0px padding.

+1 for 0 padding

+1000 for 0 padding, I alwyas need to remove the stupid 8px padding in both vertical and horitonal inputs in Figma panel and it is annoying AF

Fastest way I found to apply auto layout with 0 paddings: 🙂
Select object → option+cmd+G → shift+A

Didn’t read the comments above, but defaulting to 0 would be a huge timesaver. Rarely do I want to use my nudge amount. Going and having to manually 0 out the padding is time consuming and sometimes I forget an item and run into not knowing why something has added space when I didn’t want it. I see why you add the 10 to show the item changed, but maybe there is a way to show the transition with color or something

Faster way. Just Shift A will add auto layout without a group. It blew my mind when I learned that.

Actually, even faster: Select object → cmd+G → shift+A 😂
