Pass shortcuts to Figma when focused on the plugin window and vice versa

When user does something in the plugin UI and then wants to undo it, it breaks the flow when Cmd/Ctrl + Z doesn’t work. Even I sometimes try to press it and nothing is happening, this makes me frustrated as a pro plugin and Figma user. Currently you can implement undo manually by detecting the shortcut and communicating the undo action to the plugin backend — that’s not too hard. But things quickly become complicated if you want Redo to also function (since it’s not available in the API, you’ll have to build your own undo/redo queue). And then other shortcuts can be used by users in different contexts too. It would create a good user experience if you can trigger shortcuts in Figma, either by passing them from the user action event somehow or by simply manually triggering them (the latter would also open up a lot of other possibilities). In a similar way, it would be great if a plugin can get shortcuts when the plugin window is not in focus. This would create a seamless transition betw

Figma Mirror as "App Clip"

It’s now possible to install an “App Clip” without going to the App Store. For remote user testing, this could be awesome if Figma Mirror could be extended to work with Clips. I could then send a link or QR code, and get my remote user to test the design without the browser nav that is current situation with link sharing. Hope that makes sense? 🥸

Show file name - page title name in the tab

I use Timely to track my time on Figma. This has done wonders for me. It can track everything. But it is only tracking in which Figma file I’m currently working - not the page name inside that file. It could be useful if I could toggle this simple ability - so my tracking software could read the tab and get better tracking. Thanks,

Feature request : true "read only" option for project sharing

As a designer, I need a true read-only share (no ability to comment and input nay information) so that developers working on snesitive project can be allowed to view Figma projects without a concern that sensitive data or information might be brought back through Figma (specifically comment feature being disabled).

Attached comments

Please allow us to attach comments to a specific element. Otherwise, the comments can appear nonsensical because Figma is not aware of the state of the prototype when the comment is made.

Create a short course on Organising or designs in Figma

Figma should create a course on Organising our designs like frames, components and pages, as many of the designer struggle with organising their designs.

Do not close posts so that we can continue to vote

Every time I come to a topic here about an issue I am having, I see that the topic is closed after a few days, even though the issue is not fixed at all. One good example is this one: Search results are not precise - we get 'similar words' instead of exact match The component search logic is simply terrible, and throws dozens of results when I do a simple icon search with a name like SORT. If Figma keeps these topics open, it will help us to vote and show that many people are having this issue.

Value Arithmetic on Auto Layout

Hello, guys. Hope you are well. I use math on my designs at Figma everyday, specially the useful feature of inputting arithmetic math on the properties values. Example: Width = (80 * 2) + 8. The things is, in Auto layout both Horizontal and Vertical padding, I can’t do the math by adding spaces between the values an operator. Example: “80 + 2”. Instead, it only works with the operator close to the values. Example: “80+2”. This is not a big ideal in my everyday work, but i think it would be nice to have this way of inputting the values, as it already works with the properties Width, Height, and such 😁

I can never find the file I was working on :(

The recent section never shows ‘recent’ files. I can never find the files I was working on yesterday or day before. I would like the recent section to show files in order of most recently opened to the old file. I dont know why I cant see the names of files as well. I would like to see the files in the order I had closed them. Meaning - if I closed a file just now, it shows up as the first thumbnail. This thumbnail shows the screen area where I was working or stopped working at - this thumbnail becomes the first file, at the top left corner in the grid. the file that I had opened and closed before this one, will be the second file in the grid. So probably yesterday’s file will be in the second row may be… that way I can quickly find files easily.

LAUNCHED: Show additional measurement information like horizontal offset

As user coming from Sketch I am missing additional measurement information. To be precise I am talking about the horizontal offset of seperate elements while pressing option key. Am I the only one who’s missing this feature?

Set components as "favorites"

Star or favorite a component to add it to the top of the components list. Whenever you quickly add a component or do an instance swap, these components would appear first. Great for components that are used all the time like buttons. Do not require swapping back and forth in lists like the way the “Recently Used” works. Thanks!

Copy-paste Gradients

I should be able to copy-paste a gradient and retain all properties of that gradient (aka.: all colors within a gradient and its orientation). I know we can save gradients as styles, but sometimes we don’t want to have a gradient added to the library, but we want to use it in multiple places. Please add this feature! Would save us lots of time.

Figma "Reports" (time, timelapsed video, etc) / Activity Time / Audit Time

For folks that need to log hours or reports / proof / ideas of what they worked on, I’d love to have a quick time lapse of my Figma screen, showing what I did in a given work “period” as defined by the user. For granularity, I’d love to ask it for these lapses between certain hours. For instance, 9am - 6pm work day - the default would be it records the any time some is working for more than 1 minute… Imagine an AI driven world where I could ask Figma “hey Figma, what did I work on last thursday between 1pm to 4pm?”. The resulting feedback would be a quick timelapse (say a snapshot every minute). Once I had the output, it would be great to be able to attaches “notes” or meta data to that work. So the hole exercise would be about extrapolating evidence work done / what was achieved, etc.

🔨 Feature suggestion: layer icon type tooltip on hover

Hi! 👋 I work with someone who is new to Figma and was asking me what all the icons in the layer panel meant. I thought if you hovered them it would say the type (i.e. why it has that icons) but it didn’t, to my surprise. There are many threads like this with people asking what different icons mean: What does this layer icon mean? It is hard to search for this information because it is visual. What do you think of this idea? 🤔 Thanks! 😃

Zoom menu/panel doesn’t follow Figma’s UX patterns or meet its high standards

One of the reasons that Figma is such a pleasure to use is that the interface manages input focus intuitively and consistently. There’s rarely a case where I feel hindered by focus management. That said, the zoom menu/panel is one such case. I expect to click on the menu button, which displays the current zoom level, to first give focus the zoom input field. However, while the input field is decorated with a blue outline as if it has focus, it does not. There is no keyboard accessible way to focus the zoom input field. I expect tabbing to move my input focus—e.g., from the input field to the first menu item (Zoom in). However, tabbing immediately closes the menu. When the zoom input field has focus, I expect Up and Down keyboard arrows to increment and decrement the zoom in 1% increments, or—if I hold down the Shift key—by 10% increments. Just like every other numerical input field. However, the Up and Down arrow keys move focus to the last and first menu items, respectively. (BT

Improve search across files in new tab page

The new tab has become a very common place for me to find myself. Most of the time if I have to open a file, I create a new tab which gives me the ability to search through my files with a single keyboard shortcut: very fast, love it! The problem is that I have 2-3 accounts in my Figma at any one time, so if I need to open files across accounts, now I have to switch to home, click on my profile, change the profile, and usually just press cmd + t again because it’s so engrained as the search file shortcut. Would love if search worked across profiles, or if there was an easy way to switch between profiles from within the tab itself (even better if it could be done with the keyboard 👀 ) Could be as simple as a profile switcher:

Send figma.on('close') to plugin when closing Figma document while plugin open

Send a figma.on('close') message to the current plugin when the Figma document is closed while the plugin inside it is open. Without this it’s impossible to properly clean up after the plugin in all cases, because when I reopen the document, it still contains my plugin’s helper objects that should have been cleaned up.

Finger pointing icon when hovering

When a component has a “on click” interaction, in the prototype view, we see the pointer cursor once we hover over the component. That is ok I wish I could also get a pointer cursor when setting the interaction to “while hovering” and “Mouse enter/leave”. I imagine having a check into the interaction frame to “force pointer cursor”. Why? Because hover interaction on buttons and other UI elements are more clear when we also get the visual clue of the cursor changing. (This is now a universal usability treat, so users are more likely to understand what is going on when the cursor changes) If the cursor don’t change, but the state of the button changes visually, it creates a very tiny friction until the user realizes that this is a hover interaction minus the cursor changing. My personal work around on this looks like this:Figma – 22 Sep 23 Basically I make a third state with the interaction “While pressing” Then I can fake a press thing. But this workaround add some extra work that cou

Enable Figma mirror to work with a cable too

Problem: Often Fimga mirror does not connect, lags or disconnects while mirroring. Idea: If it will help solve the connection and lagging issues, could we consider enabling Figma mirror to connect with a phone cable and not only wireless connection?
