Question

How to assign these actions to a shortcut / mouse button?

These actions don’t have their keyboard combinations, which prevents me from assigning them from my Mouse keys. It’s one of the most used behaviours for so many people. Is there any way for me to assign them to a shortcut / mouse key?

It’s not the same thing, but I made this plugin to enable more keyboard control, which is kind of like opening up a whole bunch more shortcuts, including setting auto layout width/height modes:

Keyboard shortcuts are crucial for speed and efficiency, but Figma offers a pretty limited set and you can't customize them.

Lazer proposes a decent workaround inspired by command line interfaces. It includes a number of common adjustments, each with a short code (see below). When you bring up the Actions input with command + K or command + / and then type a shortcode (eg. w.h), the fuzzy search will be ready to select that action.
