Figma slides issue with deleting slides by accident (backspace / delete)

Hi Ben, 

Can you say more about what you mean by “clicking on delete”? Which delete button are you clicking?

Hi Conor,

backspace button, if it is clicked without any object selection, it will delete a slide. 
same as the “delete” button as indicated in my first post.
I think this is a major issue that should be considered to be improved as this feature only happens in Figma slides and is quite problematic for using this app. 

Ben

Thanks for clarifying! If you’re in the Slide view and not the grid view, a slide is always selected, even if you click somewhere else on the canvas (you’ll notice the blue selection state of the slide go from darker blue to light blue). That’s why pressing “delete” deletes the slide. This is the intended behavior today, but we appreciate your feedback!

​@Conor_Woods Sorry but this answer is not acceptable. This “intended behavior” is a major UX failure.

I agree. This is a very bad feature and extremely frustrating as I find slides are regularly deleted without my knowledge. Is there a way to customise commands? Or can you add in another safeguard to prevent this?

​@Conor_Woods Any updates on a fix?
