Make the right action bar customizable

I understand the idea behind reorganizing the action bar and making the component settings appear first in the list of actions. Still, it really annoys me that position control changes place every time. I need to make an effort to find it whenever I change the element selection. So I think that allowing users to customize the location of different actions in the right action bar will be useful. This allows you to organize the list as you prefer, making it easier to utilize in future tasks.

Knowing where I am

Hi everyone! If I am in “presentation mode” and I notice that there are problems on a particular page, I have to go and look it up on the template to fix it. It would be interesting if the cursor we have in the presentation could represent where we are even when we go back to the worksheet. So that we don’t have to look for the page, but know where we are! It would make the work much easier!

Caching Embedded Prototypes in Slides

Hello! Is there a way to cache a prototype thats embedded in Slides, when presenting? Let’s say I present in slides, click each slide that has a prototype, and load it, and return to the start of my slides. When going back to each slide with a prototype, it has to reload. Instead, can we cache the prototype, once you click it, and if we need to update the iFrame to pull in changes, we can by like some button in slide that says “Update to latest” or something? 🙏

First on top layer order in Auto-Layout

Currently auto layout arranges layers from bottom up, i.e. the lower most layer in the layers list appears on top of every other layer on the workspace. This creates two problems 1. Confusion There’s a clear confusion of the order of layers shown in the layers menu and the representation in the workspace. This requires a bit of getting used to 2. Effects like drop shadow don’t work like they are expected to Applying a drop shadow to layer 1 does not cast the shadow on layer 2 And applying a drop shadow to layer 2 casts a shadow over the top layer 1 The Order in the layer menu should be reversed. Does anybody else see merit in this? Update: The same logic applies to horizontal auto-layouts. The right most element is on top whereas the left most element should be on top majorly because we scan left to right hence the element on the lleft most extremity is to be scanned first. for example: Say we require a stack of layers to be shown which shuffles on drag It would make more sense to

#Section property setting for "Sections default Padding"

Set default autolayout values

Often I’m adding autolayout around a frame/component/element, and the default vertical and horizontal padding is 10px. As well, the gap applied is 10px. It would be amazing to set the default padding and gap to auto-layout elements. This would help with keeping your files clean, but also, to ensure that redundant CSS properties are not added to dev mode output. Clearing and resetting these properties takes time and often the gap is not cleared due to the property not having an affect on single children. Thanks!

Figma Account/Billing UX is abominable

Hate to say it but wow for a design company the Figma UX is tragic. Just realized that after 2 years of using it one of the docs we have been using is in my “personal” account apparently, and our company account billing stopped? That account is now “locked” So I wanted to find what card it was billing against and… there is NO WAY I can find to figure out how it used to be billing. The ONLY thing I can find after far too much time trying to figure it out is to just add a new payment method?? Seriously. Too painful to even bother at this point. I’ll just stick with the free account until I feel more like dealing with this awful UX.

File search: search within specific project(s)

For the files search, it would be helpful to focus the search within the context of a specific project (or projects). Background: We have projects for each platform (e.g. web, iOS, Android, etc) which are in progress and other projects for features that shipped or were archived. So it would be super helpful to limit the search results within one of those projects that represent different contexts (shipped/archived, active, etc). Anyone else have a similar model and found a workaround? If not, upvote this baby 👍

Add ability to resize text box height

Standard user behavior (even in such a simple platform) is ability to resize text boxes by both width and height. Feels very limiting right now and as you add more text boxes, you end up with a lot of overlapping boxes because the height can’t be resized after creation.

Adjusting Layer position with keyboard shortcut

When we select two layers from the top and bottom and press Ctrl + [ or Ctrl + ] to adjust the positions. These two layers should come closer like in photoshop and move upward or down. Unfortunately, these layers maintain their position (with extra layers in between) in the frame and move around.

When naming frames or layers in Figma with special characters such as /, Figma interprets / as a path separator.

Problem Description The Issue: When naming frames or layers in Figma with special characters such as /, Figma interprets / as a path separator. This leads to the following problems: During PNG or other format exports, Figma automatically creates nested folders instead of exporting all files into a flat directory. Designers who use / as part of their naming conventions must manually adjust or reorganize the exported files, adding extra workload. There is currently no option to disable or customize this path-separating behavior, forcing users to manually rename layers or rely on plugins. Impact: • Workflow efficiency is reduced, especially for designers who frequently export and manage large volumes of assets. • Using plugins or manually renaming layers can disrupt the semantic meaning and consistency of naming conventions. Proposed Improvements Add an Option to Disable Path Separator Logic • Provide a setting allowing users to disable the interpretation of / as a path separato

Apply strokes with different widths to the same object

While it is possible to stack different stroke colors, they all have the same width, which limits their usability. Adobe Illustrator has the ability to stack several strokes on one object, all with their own properties. This allows for example for lines to have «halos», which can be useful when used in front of busy backgrounds.

Stateful components: variable scoping

Problem As a front-end programmer I don’t quite grasp the current concept of so called “Local Variables”. For starters, they’re not local, but global. And the thing with global vars is - they make a big mess, like always. For this reason any programming language considers global vars an anti-pattern. But currently, the only way to make a Figma component “stateful” is to keep its “state” in the global namespace. I use quotes for a reason: there is no real state at all, because in Figma there is no an entity like “state of a component”. This all makes flows unmaintainable and prevents us from transferring components between files and projects, because they get transferred without their “state”. So basically you can’t easily reuse components logic. It also doesn’t provide any level of isolation. For example, if I have more than one instance of the same component, how would I distinguish their variables/states? Solution proposal Since Figma’s model is a tree-like, and frames serve as the

Keyboard shortcuts for union, subtract, intersect, exclude selection

I love using Figma with my Stream Deck! I’ve created every shortcut I can on it, but there are a few that are missing in the UI. The most obvious for me are the union, subtract, intersect, and exclude selection buttons. I saw that Figma is releasing their own Figma Creator Micro Keyboard which excited me that the Keyboard Shortcuts might be further expanded. Fingers are crossed!

Can't perform basic file actions on Starred or Search Result items

When you star a file as a “template” to copy and modify, you can’t even do basic file operations on the star item. This is what you can do on FILE items: And this is what you can do with STARRED items. Note that even it you “Show in Project” (which is in DRAFTS) it doesn’t show the file at all. It just shows ALL your drafts. So in order to find it you have to scroll to find the draft manually because search results also just shows the limited menu liked starred. Alternatively you have to actually open the starred draft file and then duplicate it (as the first screenshot) from the filename menu. It seems like some consistent basic file menu might solve this issue.

Enable variables in color picker for deeper design system management

For example, let’s say that I have a design system with the following color configuration: If I wanted to change the hue for my “secondary” color, I have to manually go inside all of them and change their hue, individually. I’d love to be able to set a variable “secondary-hue” as for “255” for example, and if I used that in the color picker hue field, I’d just need to change my “secondary-hue” variable and it would apply across the whole variables using that. If you have a technique that functions in current Figma settings, I’d love to hear. Thanks!

This is useful when making updates and refining my designs, where I make updates to main component, then look at locations where it’s applied. I can no longer quickly reference main component.

Event listeners

Event listeners could improve prototypes efficiency and limit the number of workaround to replicate common interactions on websites. OnScrollUp OnScrollDown (left or right as well for Horizontal scroll with an offset value) E.G : Menu expanding on scrolling up. Right now this is almost impossible to simulate, while being a pretty common thing. (i mean yes, with increasing a number variable or decreasing it and check the previous result, which asks for a lot of onMouseEnter and possibly deactivating other interactions). It would be great to listen when user is going up or down the page. OnView (with offset trigger and possibly onLeave) For example we have a page with sticky elements, like filters, that need to disappear when the footer enters the visible area of our prototype. As of now, we need onMouseEnter interaction to change visible state with booleans. This is a problem, because people won’t be able to see these interactions when on mobile. So triggering a bloc when it is onVi

Flutter 'Flexible'-like behavior on width/height inside Auto-layout

Hi! This might be overreaching and quite niche in its application, most probably only effective for centered-but-truncated Texts like Material 3.0 Tabs (but not limited to it)… Is it possible to add another setting for Height/Width that allows the said object to show a behavior close to ‘Flexible’ encapsulated Flutter widget inside Autolayout? This might be a bit contradicting, but it behaves like Hug and Fill at the same time. When the Autolayout resized from its inherent Hug size, it has two behavior: If the Autolayout size is reduced and the object’s size is also reduced, the object behaves like Fill, as in it will resizes itself according to the space left inside Autolayout. If the Autolayout size expanded, the object behaves like Hug, as in it will retain its inherent (or fixed) size and let the Autolayout’s alignment do its work. As far as I explored, the behavior is exactly like when you set an object’s Max Height/Width to its inherent/initial fixed size (like Hug) but also se
