Question

Hotkey for superscripting

I work for a company with a ton of legalese in their CRM and site programs. It’s very frustrating bringing in copy from my copywriter and the superscripts do not translate over and I have to manually go into Details/Position to tick a box to superscript. The dream would be for the copy to automatically recognize the superscript when I paste it into figma, however a better solution would be the ability to have a hotkey I could assign to superscript. It would be amazing for power users if all the features could have the ability to be assigned custom hotkeys for repetitive tasks like this.

      Seconding this - superscripting is definitely the least efficient part of my workflow (working with scientific and medical text-heavy content) and a superscripting hotkey would save me hours.

      +1! When you paste superscript from one text field to another within Figma, you have to reformat it from normal to superscript text every time, even if every other text property is the same. It would be nice for this setting to transfer when pasting within Figma.

      EDIT: I just realized there IS a hotkey to superscript… Option + 2 on a Mac. (and Alt + 0153 on Windows, in theory)

      Option + 2 just swaps whatever text I have highlighted for a TM superscript, unfortunately. There are other Mac native hotkeys for superscripting, but since they use the command and + keys, they are confused for Figma’s zoom hotkey.
