Jira x Figma plugin should preserve dev mode url parameter

When linking a design to Jira using the plugin, the “mode=dev” portion of the URL is getting cleared, which results in all links opening in design mode by default. Given that the Jira x Figma plugin is largely for engineers to access designs, I would prefer that Figma links preserve the “mode” URL parameter so that my engineers don’t have to “turn on” dev mode every time they open a file.

Remove all "Click: none"

Hello Figma Team, I wanted to share a suggestion for improving the user experience in Figma. On several occasions, I have come across “Click: none” events that are quite annoying. My proposal is for Figma to automatically detect and remove these empty events, especially since when trying to create a link, it sometimes detects this event and switches it directly to the drag event. This problem has caused some prototypes to not work correctly when launched. If it is not possible to automatically remove the “Click: none” events, it would at least be very useful to be able to change the events directly from the drop-down menu. Currently, I always have to clear the “Click: none” event before I can make any changes, which is somewhat tedious. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to seeing this change implemented. Best regards!

Creating PDF with multiple pages out of FigJam

Dear community, I tried to find an answer in existing topics but without success. Sorry if I just didn’t find the answer … My problem statement: I used to work in miro in that way, that I created boards with well structured frames and then I could export them to PDF with one page per frame. By that I could set up specs documents with lots of contents like in PPT or whatever have you. Now I wanted to switch to FigJam to have designs and specs in one project but I’m missing the option to create PDFs out of FigJam with one page per section. Who can help me out?

Preferred values and libraries

There is an issue with “Preferred values” in components part of library files. When copies of such a library are created, the components preferred values keep pointing to the source library file. For example, say we have a “Source Library” with an “Icon” component in it. We set the component with preferred values for icons in that same library. If we create a duplicate of that source library, rename it to say “Instance Library” - then the preferred values in the “Icon” component from that instance library will still point to the “Source Library”. There is no indication that the paths to the preferred values are absolute and this might cause a lot of confusion. Here for examples is the " Preferred values" documentationFigma Learn - Help Center I would say the paths to the “Preferred values” should be relative, when set to local components.

⌘+W Behavior is erratic

When closing files in the desktop app by using the ⌘+W hotkey, the behavior is rather erratic. Sometimes it closes the file and opens one that is adjacent in the app bar. Other times, it closes the file and returns you to the home screen when you have many documents open. Other times it closes the file and takes you to the last file that is open. I’d prefer it to consistently move to the next file to the right, like in a web browser.

Add padding between visibility toggle and scrollbar

The number of times I try to toggle a layer’s visibility and randomly scroll the sidebar is too damn high. Please add padding to the right side of the sidebar to fix this.

Go to last activity of another user in any figma file

Often, we have many files open, and I get lost trying to get back to a particular one my co-worker is in. They then have to send me the link so I can join. It would be great if, like following someone’s mouse, I could jump to the last file they were active in.

Smart Animate - Edit Timeline

I couldn’t find a similar thread, so I’ll just post it here. Here’s what’s InVision Studio does great: The idea is to be able to define when each layer is to be triggered when using smart animated. Currently there is only a global switch and all layers will animated in a given time. If this idea is a duplicated of one I didn’t find, please merge it together. A great feature for you PMs and Devs to think about.

Comments Replicating Component State at Time of Comment

With components having multiple states, some of which have very different text, it would be very helpful if clicking into a comment would show you what state/variant each component was in when the comment was made. Not sure if this would require a new “comment mode” where you would temporarily be shown all the components in their modified states/variants, but this would ease the communication and feedback loop. Let me know what you think - any problems with this? How difficult does this sound?

Mind Map grouping after adding child nodes

Lets Say I am brainstorming tasks to do for today and I add 10 ten tasks to my main Node (which currently reads “Any question or topic”). Lets I want to group those 10 tasks into 3 groups. I cannot do that. Currently the only way to do this is initially form groups ( which are unknown in the beginning). Rather than top down, Mind map should allow bottom up approach

Youtube/Vimeo Embed for Prototype

We use Figma a lot for client presentations and to showcase video snippets. We recently discovered the figjam workaround to embed videos in the Edit View, but its not possible to rescale those Widgets from FigJam and more annoyingly the are not playable in the prototype/presentation view. There is a Plugin called YouTube and Vimeo from Ampier, but its also not working in presentation view…but has more than 45k user…there is a need for it 😉 Pleeeease let us embed Youtube/Vimeo Videos in Figma nativly and also play those videos when presenting. Vote here so that this gets some visbility

Ctrl+click on a locked layer should work or select the layer above

Currently Ctrl+click on a locked layer selects the outermost layer, which doesn’t make much sense and makes it annoying to select layers that contain locked parts. Suggestions alternatives for Ctrl+click on locked layer behavior: The locked layer gets selected and the selection indicator is red with a little lock icon. The deepest unlocked layer above the locked layer gets selected.

“Link to selected frame” should be restored to the share dialog

Has the functionality for sharing links to selected frame been removed? I upgraded to Figma Desktop App version 116.2.4, and now I no longer see the option in the dialog that appears when I select a frame and hit the ‘Share’ button. I double checked, by creating a new document with a couple of empty frames in, and still no luck. Does anybody else suffer this issue? If it’s been removed, then it’s a massively frusrating regression – we frequently link to individual frames when working with developers and referencing design features.

It's time to phase out the Slice Tool

I have never ever needed the Slice tool, and neither have you! It’s so quick and easy to share the link to a selection, take a screenshot, or ⇧A a pretty frame around your work and export it. So I really don’t see the point of keeping Slice inside Figma. How hasn’t it been axed yet? Are there that many Slice users out there? Given that S is such a prominent key, it’s very easy to hit by accident, (happens to me multiple times a day) and Slices are just weird to delete. Let’s declutter! Less is more, less is more, less is more. It takes great courage to say goodbye, but I think it’s time! <3

渐变色的操作变多了，效率降低

原先渐变色滑块的颜色编辑可以在一节页面中完成，改版后，现在渐变色的滑块需要在二级页面中才能选择，操作变得繁琐了，大大降低了工作效率，不知道figma的设计团队为什么要做这种负向优化

Please allow users to remove the 'get coding, faster' banner

This banner is annoying, and I can’t seem to remove it. I don’t want/need dev mode, I just need to look at designs done by my team!

FIGMA should launch its own website builder

Other website builder are really bad and the UI designed in Figma cannot be implemented of those builder so . I think a Figma website builder with all the Figma features would be really nice

Expand and collapse mindmap nodes

Hi, Apologies if this question was asked before. How do we expand/collapse the nodes in a mindmap? Will be ideal to be able to do so, otherwise the mindmap gets too big thus having to constantly scroll left/right/top/down breaking the flow of the presentation. Thank you.

Allow copy + paste for text styles on individual letters or part of text

Hi, I’m trying to create a text block that has different fonts inside of it and it’s surprisingly difficult in Figma. The desired result is something like this: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/51/eb/10/51eb10ab5be583010b631e7207c135d9.jpg I use Option+Command+C to paste style and it works just as expected if I select a whole block of text or any other object. However, if I select just one letter or word in a text block and want to copy-paste a different style to them, there is no way to make it work. It just doesn’t copy the style unless the whole text block is selected. I have to choose the font and size manually which is time-consuming and strange. Is there a workaround or a different hotkey combination to apply a style to just one letter in a text block?

Use "em" or percentages instead of pixels

As far as I can tell everyone loves and hates autolayout. When it works, it’s magic. But it’s almost always glitchy in the wild. I think the biggest breakthrough would be to just be able to declare an “em” or percentage for the size of everything in the layout.

Keep sticker "dock" open when dragging out stickers

When I open the “sticker dock”, and select/drag a sticker to my FigJam canvas, I want the sticker dock to stay open, because I’m usually dragging/searching for multiple stickers to drag out in one sitting. Each time the dock closes after I’ve dragged one sticker, I have to open it every single time and search again for the same ones I was just looking at. I know there is a “dock to side” capability, but it’s huge in size and takes up a good portion of my canvas. I just want the option for it to stay open, and be small. Thanks!

Save Properties Configuration / Create Instances

Hi all, I came across this interesting features while playing with Ableton Live DAW. In Ableton you can create a set of Macros to control various parameters of the instrument you are playing. The cool thing is that you can save ‘‘snapshots’’ of the Macro settings, in order to access the desired settings without having to tweak the knobs all the time. I think this could be applied to Figma properties panel. Properties are a great feature to avoid building dozens of variants and make component very flexible. The only downside is that you have to tweak the properties every time you use that component to achieve the configuration you want. How cool would it be if you can save these configurations and you can select the desired one everytime you drag that component into your artboard? Example: This is a Top Nav Component that uses property. Every time I use it I need to tweak the properties ( Yes/No front icon, Yes/No back icon, Yes/No background, Icon or Action and so on…) If I could save

Gamepad stick diagonal triggers

Prototyping triggers won’t allow to bind an action to diagonal moves of the stick. Both LStick and Rstick. Tried to prototype a command wheel. Segments should be triggered by eight corresponding directions of stick movement. But only four of them was possible: up, down, left and right. Does anyone else in the game industry experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?
