To enhance flexibility and optimize workspace organization, it would be beneficial to allow users to move the windows for variables, prototypes, and plugins outside Figma’s main interface, positioning them freely on the desktop. This feature would help users better arrange their workflow, especially for those using multi-monitor setups or needing a cleaner and more focused workspace.

Imagine being able to place the prototype window on a secondary monitor while working on the main canvas, or keeping a plugin window open without it interfering with your design.

Additionally, these windows could remember their position, reopening in the same spot during the next session to ensure a seamless user experience.

YES! This is required for sure for multiple desktops. Being able to drag these panels and windows beyond the MAIN UI is a no brainer.

This is such a pain! I often update variables in the variable window and then want to check how it affects the frames on the artboard but the window is blocking my view. I would love to either have the window on another screen or being able to update an existing variable from the artboard.
