Deselect another users selection

I would like the option to deselect the selection of another user. Too often others viewing a file will select something and never deselect it until they eventually close Figma. It would be nice to remove their selection from an object, so I won’t have to look at the highlight of the selection they have made.

Turning off multiplayer cursours is a workaround, but if you want to continue to see other user’s cursors but want to force one user to deselect something they have left selected you are unable to do so.

You can turn off the multiplayer cursor by clicking cmd + alt + \ OR ctrl + alt + \
