Icons in the Choose Instance panel are too small

Icons in the Choose Instance panel are small and it hurts my eyes if I have to spend time trying out new icons by swapping instances. I don’t want to change the size of my entire interface to increase the size of these icons but that’s usually how I fix the problem. It’s pretty frustrating. Would be great to have a size adjustment feature or just increase the size of icons to reduce eye strain.

LAUNCHED: Fixed panels are back!

Floating bars with rounded edges are only aesthetically pleasing, but they add an annoying border between the tools and the window, creating annoying elements for the view that peek out from the edges. Lessi is more, remember? You seem to have copied other systems such as Miro or from your own FigJam. Truly, this choice is terrible, adds nothing of value and really worsens concentration and vision. Figma must remain a technical tool, not a video game. It must have the canvas CLEAN, without things popping up here and there from the edges of the windows. This thing doesn’t even look like it was designed by UX/UI professionals who have to work with software. It is really disturbing to work with something like this. Please: go back or at least give (forever) the option to use the old version (which is NETTLY better) with the exact same tools and functionality. Thank you.

Shift+D for DevMove

Hello! Please consider changing the combination, because it’s hard to type an uppercase letter “D” now. I should type lowercase “d” first instead DevMode is activated 🥲

Make component property nested section titles darker (UI3)

The component properties panel in UI3 is extremely difficult to parse when you have a complex component with nested overrides. Currently the only thing that differentiates a section header from a component prop name is the font-weight, making the sections blend into the list of component props and making it difficult to find the section you need. Making the section titles darker than the prop names would help with scanablitity.

UI3: K shortcut + Tab bad behaviour

When using UI2, pressing K to go into Scale mode and then pressing the Tab key would focus the width input, and pressing Tab again focuses to height input, for quick width and height adjustments. In UI3 this behaviour is changed, so that pressing Tab is focusing the anchor point selection, which makes this interaction worse, breaking muscle memory. I believe there is no need to change this in the new UI, as it is making the UX worse.

UI3 Frames Icon

The layers panel feels noisier, the updated frames icon is hard too see.

Annotations: add multiple properties with shortcut

Adding several properties to an annotation in DevMode is currently quite repeating: for each property, the “+ Property” has to be clicked again. Solution idea → hold Shift (or any other helper key) + click property adds clicked property, but keeps the dialog open.

Font Issue - Figma

We have an issue on our Figma in which we are still encountering an issue on our Figma pages. We have updated our font style to Avenir, and ever since we made this update, we keep having alignment issues with the text. For example, in the attached video (skip to 0:40s), the spacing of two sections is both set to 2, but they keep getting misaligned. The alignment corrects itself once we click on the text box. However, this is only a temporary fix. Each time we reopen the Figma file, the misalignment returns, requiring us to manually click every text box to realign them. video link: Unique Download Link | WeTransfer This has become quite time-consuming and frustrating. To avoid this ongoing issue, can you please investigate what might be causing this problem in Figma and provide a solution?

Block edits in main branch - only allow changes from merges

Similarly to how in a Git repo we can block any changes to be committed in the main branch, it would be nice to allow the same behavior in Figma. New changes should only come from the merging requests of branches.

Select nested Layer

In the previous version, we could select nested layers with the ctrl + right button, but this functionality is absent in the present version. This is not user-friendly. Now we have to select layer option and then we have to choose the nested layer it is very annoying.

More prominent design for unread comments

The current tiny blue dot of unread comments in combination with the slight faded text color of the read comments, in the right-hand sidebar, are too subtle to quickly distinguish. Please come up with a design where unread comments stand out more 😉 🙏

Allow customized stacking position of modules in the right panel

Similar to adobe and other design software—you can make the tool adapt to your workflow. Why can’t we re-position modules on the right panel? I really hate that “component” is now above the “position/size properties”. I 1000% prefer position to be pinned to the top with component controls following. I use position/size controls all the time on a variety of projects, and the fact that it moves around now is very unhelpful and slows things down. But why can’t everyone have it all? By allowing these modules to have standard stacked preset, as well as user-specified stacks?

Vector editing DRAMATICALLY worse on UI3

I used to love editing vectors in Figma, to the point that I’m not even sure that I know how to use Illustrator anymore. But UI3 made the workflow for editing shape dramatically worse and cumbersome, adding steps to what once was right at our hands. Here’s a few things I miss from before that I hope gets fixed/reintroduced on UI3: Arrow keys to add/remove polygon and star count. These shortcuts seem to be gone and just don’t do anything now. Quick access to vector boolean operations. These were moved to the sidebar, way too far away from the toolbar which seems to be a more appropriate place for them to live, since it’d be close to the shapes menu. Also, they completely vanish when you select a shape? (see screenshot)

A selection tool like AutoCad

Could be super useful, i think, to have a selection tool similar to AutoCad. Depending from which way (left or right) you select your object, it will either select the individual elements or the whole object. Also it could be cool to have a free hand selection tool like AutoCad as well.

Ability to control file size on export without plugins

Problem As a designer exporting assets for web development it’s frustrating having to either export with no control over the file size and reduce later in photoshop, or pay for an image compressing plugin that is helpful, but exports as zip files so the file management gets messy quick. Solution Have more expansive export settings e.g. slider for image quality and file size calculated in real time with slider - similar to photoshop. Might just be me but I sorely need this functionality, especially during the rapid part of a project which is the design to developer hand over. Does anyone else have this problem? 🙂

Change multiple corners of a shape with number variables to maintain icon-sets

I want to create an icon set with ‘corner radius’ tokens via number variables to change the roundness of an icon by changing the mode. Example: I have a rectangle and I want to give each corner a different corner radius token via number variables to change only the mode and slightly increase the roundness for a huge bunch of icons. how the variables could look like Actually, Figma only supports that all corners have the same number variable. I made a gif to visualise the idea. If you could set different ones, the right shape would change as well.

Let’s Add Manual Mapping for Unmatched Tokens in the Swap Library Tool!

Hey folks! 👋 I was using Figma’s Swap Library feature recently and came across a little hiccup that I think could use some improvement. You know how it works: when you swap libraries, Figma tries to match styles between the old and new library based on the token names, right? But… when there’s a name change or a slight difference in naming conventions, it just says “None found,” and that’s it. 😅 You’re left with elements still tied to the old library, which can be a bit frustrating, especially when you’ve spent time updating your naming structure to make things more organized or meaningful. What’s the Ask? Can we get an option to manually map these “None found” tokens to styles in the new library? Why This Matters This would be super handy for situations like: You’ve changed alpha/black/20 to opacity/black/20 in the new library. Sure, the names are different, but it’s still essentially the same style! Being able to manually link these would save so much hassle. You re

Convert to vscode

All - In a perfect world I’d like to convert my Figma designs to vscode and MUI. I have gone through all the recommendation videos I can find but any suggestions are welcome. One thing I want to confirm - does it matter what design kit I use? For example, there is a dedicated kit for MUI but it is much less robust than others so I’d rather not use it unless I is the best way to create MUI code. I really appreciate any help

Permanently show current page

There is currently no way to see the current page in the Figma UI when the Pages section is collapsed. When you have a lot of pages and/or you have similar pages this gets confusing. Keeping the whole Pages section open is often a waste of valuable vertical space. Space that’s very useful for the Layers section. Maybe Figma can show the current page name somewhere in the UI? Maybe above the current file name? Or somehow in the Pages section? (not the prettiest solution)

Better UI for interactions in DevMode

Our development team (who only have view and devmode access) have complained that when trying to inspect components with complex interactions (ie: interactions buried inside layers), they simply have no idea the interactions exist without the designer placing myriads of comments or writing documentation to explicitly illustrate this which entirely defeats the purpose of devmode. I agree with the team that this is counter-intuitive and there should be a better visual indication of where a developer needs to inspect in order to see these interactions. At this point in time only a user with edit access can actually see the interaction pathways visually, and that’s simply not good enough.

Manage custom Figjam color palette for the whole organization

It would be super nice to be able to manage and apply by default custom FigJam color palettes. The same way we can now manage Libraries and Fonts on an organisation level (admin panel). It’s possible to set a custom palette on a team level, but why not on an organization level?

give the opportunity to configure access rights to a part of the data

I have created a product development page. I want to invite the entire team and all employees of the entire company to this page in order to make a huge complete roadmap of all the tasks for the company that will have to be done over the next few years. since all employees must be on the page, it is necessary to be able to configure access rights for each piece of information on the same page.

variables不支持单元格的描述

为什么figma的variables不能对每一列中的单元格单独支持编辑表述？ 我想对这红圈标注出来的 变量 添加描述，但是我找不到哪里可以添加，因此我只能对这一整行的变量添加描述。这很不方便。 难道没人和我有同样的需求嘛？

Plugins / cmd+K ?/ No shortcut to navigate through the tabs

I would like to be able to configure a short cut to be able to navigate through the tabs “All” “Assets” or “Plugins & Widgets”. Massive cognitive load on remembering which plugins are installed or to find them again. Minimum requirement would be to have a “filter: Installed plugins”.
