Suggest a Feature

I love how 1st April gave to us. Indeed.I am now harder to keep concentrating  on my work due to using too much technology. So if we can solve this problem then we should make something to keep us working,,,with fun!!Basic - Just a plugin to collect the distance of my mouse movement on Figma. it is about 4px = 1 cm if I am correct. If I keep working hard...I want to know how far I travel to this long journey.Advance.. I need game that I can choose what to build and if the screen is active for 8 hours, the thing I want to build will be done. and I can put it on my hall of fame which other people can see. I need progress animation along 8 hrs. So now the more I use figma...The stuffs I can build haha.Is this look fun???

It’d be great to be able to auto-play and loop a Figma Slides presentation.

Hi. There are about 30 people on my team using Figma, and about 10 marketers and product managers with editor privileges. Since editors other than designers are not accustomed to working with Figma, they double-click when selecting a page in Figma and change the name of the page without knowing it. This operation causes the page name to revert back to something like “Page1” many times (without even he himself realizing that he has changed it). Another person tries to change it back, but sometimes it is very problematic because it can be reverted to the wrong name. To prevent this, I would like Figma to consider making it an option to double click to change the page name. Since page names are not changed very often, I think it is sufficient to be able to rename them from right-click.

From time to time we use Figma to create high-fidelity animations, eliminating the need for additional hand-off tools or specs.This is nice, but viewing animations within Figma is difficult when it’s about quick microinteractions or I want to figure out what’s going on wrong. A sort of debugging possibility. Specifically for Devs.If you remember Principle, it had a very useful feature where if you held ⇧ Shift while viewing a transition/animation, it would slow down that animation by ~10×. Only while holding, not as a state change.Would be great to get this feature as well + the ability to change the slow down speed (additional keys / setting?) Cheers

I would love to be able to update an existing variable directly on the artboard similar to how pushing changes to a main component works. Often times I have a lot of artboards set with a big load of variables for all text in different languages. In these cases I might want to update a specific variable but it’s kind of a hassle to find it in the variables window. Just let me input a new value and push the change to the master variable or at least give me a shortcut to open the variables window with the selected variable in focus.

When looking at a component with nested components within, please can we look at showing the default of these nested components as closed in the component props panel on the right. The components start to look complex and overwhelming when left open as default.

怎么菜单里面分组还不能删除了，越改越难用了

While prototyping in Figma, all connectors (nodes/links) are the same color, making it difficult to visually distinguish which frames are connected to each other. To improve clarity, consider adding an option for color-coded connectors or user-defined colors. This would allow users to assign different colors based on interaction types, flows, or personal preferences, making complex prototypes easier to understand and manage.

I happily created a variables collection for my existing dark mode and light mode color style palettes that I had in my Design System. The thing is, my app is primarily designed in dark mode, but I created the light mode variables first and now I’m stuck with having light mode as the default which is very frustrating. My only option seem to be do just delete and redo the ‘light mode mode’ which I’m not that keen on doing. I wish it was possible to just change the order of my color variable mode columns horizontally using drag and drop, just like how you change order of variant properties vertically.

This screenshot shows a split-screen view. I often work with different Figma files in split-screen mode, and it gets frustrating when I open the Variables panel to edit something, only to find that the “Close” or “Cancel” button in the top-right corner is not visible. The panel doesn’t resize to fit within the split-screen or other adjusted window ratios, making it cumbersome to close or navigate without manually resizing the window each time working with variables panel.

According to the below articles, it appears that it’s not possible to build a plugin that auto-runs and runs headlessly (no visible UI) without showing a running progress bar spinner, is that correct?Article Reference https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042532714-Use-plugins-in-files Running message when trying to run operations after running figma.ui.hide()If this isn’t possible today, I think it would be a really useful feature that would unlock a lot of new workflows interacting with other apps and hardware that doesn’t necessitate having a UI dialog up and running.

Hi Figma Team, I’d love to request support for Native MacOS Notifications in the Figma desktop app. Currently, notifications only appear within the app itself, while the mobile app does a great job of utilizing native OS notifications. This creates a bit of a disconnect between platforms and can make it unclear where users should expect important updates. Supporting MacOS’s native notification system would bring the desktop experience inline with the Figma mobile app and allow users to receive alerts even when Figma isn’t the active window. More importantly, MacOS provides robust notification preferences, giving users full control over how those alerts are displayed—whether silently, persistently, or not at all—based on their individual workflows and needs. Native support would significantly improve visibility and responsiveness to things like design comments, file updates, or collaboration pings. It’s a small change with a big impact in terms of usability and consistency. Thanks for c

Like with Google Slides, the canned animations that one can apply in Figma are not particularly useful in making more complex or impressive animations. Powerpoint is the gold standard there, allowing for path animations and timing based on a real (ish) timeline.Since it seems to allow some animation in the non-slides interface already via Lottie, (and would be nice if one could use embedded animation-commands inside the SVGs like with JS or SMIL) It seems as if this might be able to be ported to slides. Then, I could make complex lottie animations via BodyMovin in AE, animations in Rive, or directly in Figma and be able to ditch GSlides and Powerpoint both.

I need to limit the number of items when using Wrap on Auto Layout. Like the number of columns or rows on grids. I want to use wrap auto layout and auto-fill on inner items at the same time and I want to set a limit for the number of columns or rows. Look at these images, I designed that thing I meant. Additional: I don’t want to use max/min width, because these happen:

While it seems to have improved since the initial launch, using prototypes in Figma Slides is still a poor experience. Below are the three areas that bother me the most: Quality loss. The quality of protoypes when viewed through Slides is noticeably less sharp. It’s better to just have the actual prototype open in a separate tab. Prototypes have to load every time you change slides. This is very annoying when designing a deck because you constantly have to load it to make sure it’s the correct prototype, but the real issue is having to wait for the prototype to load while presenting the deck. Every time you change slides, the prototype has to load up again so if you’re sharing concepts and need to go back and forth between slides, it’s a huge pain. Again, it’s better to just have the actual prototypes pre-loaded in the background. Moving prototypes around a slide is really annoying because it triggers the interactions on the prototype itself. I have no idea why this is the defau

It would be nice if we had an option to show a little dot or something that shows you where the user clicks on a prototype. We’re a remote-first company, and it would be really helpful for me to be able to have some visual indicator when I click on something when I’m sharing my screen on a call. This would also be very useful for remote user testing if we can see where testers are trying to click.

Let’s face it, variables for dev seats need some more thinking.We had all our files using variables from another file, where we keep our localization variables (Japanese and English) and the color themes (dark and light), so several design files can use them.With the new dev seats our developers CAN’T SEE any localization or change the color theme of the design. Sure, they have the color variables in the side panel as part of CSS, but no clue why the strings not. BUT they can’t change it to see it.I’m not saying to see it as code. Our developers want to see the design to check themselves that the code is ok. They want to see the design in Japanese or in dark theme if they want, selecting the variable mode by themselves.That’s why I’m suggesting you to think a solution to this. Since right now the only solutions are duplicate every single screen, like we did before you introduce variables, or give a full seat to every developer. 

Scenario: In a remote lecture, I am sharing the presentation with students (view rights). On the first slide I ask a question and create an interactive poll. The answer/solution is displayed on the next slide. If the user can click forward on their own using the arrow keys, they can cheat.

Hi there, the button is too big in my opinion for changing tabs. I’d love for it to be the same size as Google Chrome’s button. I’ve accidentally closed so many windows because of this.

A current pain point I’m facing is having to manually select the text layers that I want to change (and matching layers doesn’t always work for me, which also causes some frustration). The “Selection Colors” feature is super helpful for when I want to swap color styles within a frame. I wish this was also the case for typography, where there is a “Selection Typography” feature that allows me to easily swap text styles within a selected frame, or identify layers that are not linked to a text style.

I want a way to edit the speaker notes for all of the slides at once. Maybe like a word doc style on the side separated by slide number. That way I can check general flow of my presentation at a glance. 

Hi Figma team,I’d love to request a feature that allows designers to simulate browser zoom behavior (e.g., 90%, 100%, 110%, 125%, 150%) either in the file editor or the frame preview window when a specific frame is selected. 🔍 What I’m Looking ForI’d like to be able to press Ctrl + Plus (or minus) while editing a frame and see the contents scale like they would in an actual browser zoom, without having to: Use the K Scale tool (which permanently resizes elements), Or manually simulate responsiveness with constraints and resizing the frame width. This would be incredibly helpful for quickly checking how my UI elements appear at different zoom levels — particularly for accessibility and UX tuning — without jumping in and out of preview mode or doing frame gymnastics. 📌 Suggested Implementations A toggle setting (e.g., “Enable Zoom Scaling on Selected Frame”) in the editor. A zoom dropdown in the Preview (Present) window that behaves like browser scaling rather than just canvas zoom

Hi team, it is very easy to accidentally destroy a design in Figma web on a touchscreen like an iPad because tapping to select an object and moving the object can happen in a single gesture. If I’m panning around the canvas and don’t touch two fingers to pan at exactly the same time I can accidentally drag something.This has been taken care of in the Figjam app, as panning is performed with a single finger and an object needs to be explicitly selected before any gesture can be used to manipulate it. It would be wonderful to have this functionality ported over to Figma on web. Thank you.

Is there a way to set a color in preferences or something to choose what the background color is? My old files used to have a background of #E5E5E5, but now it is set to #F5F5F5. This is a problem for me as F5F5F5 is close to one of our brand colors, so I need to go and manually change it every time. Is there a way to set a preference for the background colour in design files?

Slides doesn’t have Auto-Layout which is one of the major reasons to use Figma for Presentation. Please make it available!
