Find & Replace should follow RTL direction when navigating results

Question

When using Find & Replace with Arabic text, Figma always navigates to the first matching result starting from the left side of the canvas.

For RTL languages such as Arabic, I’d expect the navigation order to follow the reading direction and start from the right side instead.

This becomes especially noticeable in flows where screens are arranged from right to left, as Find & Replace jumps to a screen on the opposite end of the flow first.

It would be helpful if result navigation respected the text or document direction for RTL languages.

Hello ​@Hayam,welcome to Figma Forumand thanks for laying this out so clearly. I see what you mean —when your screens are arranged right-to-left, it makes sense for Find & Replace to step through results in that same direction.I don't have a timeline to share, but I've passed your feedback along to the team that works on the canvas experience in Figma Design. I'm also moving your post to our Suggest a Feature category, where product teams review requests.Any updates will be shared inProduct Updates.Please don't hesitate to let us know if other questions come up or if you have more to share!
