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

History on an object

It would be helpful to have a history view of a particular object/asset in a design file where I can right click on it and see that objects history only.

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

Create dividers with Plugin API – figma.createDivider()?

I have built a simple plugin for my organization to generate our best practice Figma file boilerplate. I would love to be able to take advantage of the new page dividers feature, but if I use the API to edit the name of the page to something like ‘—’ it doesn’t turn into a divider like it would from the UI.

Set "Default Mode" without enabling library by default

Currently, you can only set the default mode of a workspace by enabling the library for everyone in the workspace. It would be helpful to be able to set the default mode without enabling it for everyone. The use case we have is that we have two different libraries. One library with all of our theming variables, and one with just the semantic variables we want our designers to use. We do not want all designers to use the theming variables library but the theme is controlled by that library. Can we please add the ability to change the default mode without enabling the library?

Provide several points to connect a block with straight lines in FigJam

Hello, Currently, when I connect blocks with straight connection lines in a way: Line from D to H overlaps G block. There is no option to connect to a specific side of a block (top, bottom, left, right), like it is with curved connection line: <An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put one embedded media item in a post.> I propose to add an ability to connect straight lines to points on the each side of a block rather than to the center of a block to avoid overlaps and to better manage connection with straight lines. Please consider this request.

Keyboard shortcuts to add a row or column to Figjam table

Would be useful (and a better UX) if keyboard shortcuts existed for adding rows and columns to a FigJam table. Tabbing (a common method to create a new row in other apps) causes focus to jump to a different item on the page (e.g., another sticky, text box), which is jarring and disorienting when trying to capture information in a group setting; lose your spot, lose your train of thought, focus goes to getting back to the table instead of listening to the speaker. One alternative or starting point could be providing those as menu commands, which opens up the ability for Mac users to define their own keyboard shortcuts using MacOS > keyboard > app shortcuts.

Need to add a snippet of context to thumbnails

Would be great if I could add a sentence or two of context to files so that, when I’m looking at the thumbnails in the Recents list or looking at files in the sidebar, I had a little more information to help me determine if “that’s the file I need”. Right now, it’s a lot of squinting, opening files, realizing it’s not the right file, going back to the list, rinse and repeat. Little snippet of text would help a lot.

Plugin area too small

When I upgraded to macOS 15.1.1, I noticed that the plugin area became very small. It seems to be caused by a web adaptation issue, as it cannot stretch to the bottom.

Prevent users from modifying the appearance of components.

When building components, there are certain properties that I do not want users to modify themselves. For example, in the case of a Button, I only want users to change its state or style by toggling the properties I provide, but I do not want them to directly modify the Fill, the Stroke and so on. Is it possible to add a style locking feature during component creation to restrict users from modifying the styles?

Figma tab overview

With increasing complexity in projects and design systems often distributed across multiple files I often find myself having many tabs open. In Google chrome, I highly appreciate the “Shift + CMD + A” menu displaying all the open tabs in chronological order, it would also be super beneficial to have this in Figma. This would allow to: Quickly switch between tabs that are the most relevant (most recently opened tabs at the top) Search for a tab Increase usability with keyboard only (current CMD + #number doesn’t scale as well) What do you think about this?

Clip frame content in prototype but not in Design mode

When working on frames containing scrollable content, I often end up having to toggle clipping on and off to switch between editing the content and preparing for prototyping. It would be amazing if we could have an option that made “Clip content” apply only in Prototype mode and not in Design mode.

Enable Export and Integration of Figma Variables with SCSS/Tailwind CSS or other Frameworks

Figma’s variables feature is a game-changer for design consistency, but what if we could take it a step further? Imagine a seamless connection between Figma variables and SCSS, enabling real-time updates across design and development environments. Here’s how this could work: Proposed Features: Export Figma Variables to SCSS: Designers can define variables (e.g., colors, typography, spacing) in Figma. These variables can be exported as an SCSS file with proper formatting. Example: scss $primary-color: #FF5733; $secondary-color: #C70039; Sync Updates from Figma to SCSS: Changes to variables in Figma automatically update a connected SCSS file. This enables design updates to reflect in development environments, at least in staging or development builds. Dev Environment Integration: While not live editing, changes in Figma could trigger updates in a development environment. Developers would get notifications or GitHub PRs for updated SCSS files generated from Figma. Use Cases

Introducing Linked Child Files for Large Design Systems

Working with large design systems in Figma can sometimes lead to heavy memory usage and slower performance, especially in complex projects. To address this, I propose a Child File System in Figma, where child files are separate yet linked to a master file that holds all styles and variable declarations. This concept is similar to WordPress child themes and would enable better performance and management of large design systems. Proposed Features: Master and Child File Relationship: A Master File serves as the single source of truth, containing all styles, components, and variable declarations. Child Files link to the Master File and inherit its styles, variables, and components without duplicating them locally. Selective Syncing: Designers can choose which parts of the master file (e.g., specific components or variable groups) to sync with child files. Child files can override certain variables or components for specific use cases while maintaining the connection to the master fi

Copy + Pasting a Stroke

Hi! Currently, when you click on a stroke in the right side panel and then Command+C copy it, then go to Command+P paste it on a different layer, the only properties it copies over are the stroke colour and opacity. Would be great if it also copied over the stroke width, position, and side customization 🙂

Retain the same order of component properties when adding a second variant

For components that have a lot of component properties, it can be a real pain when you add another variant later on. If you have already arranged your component properties into an order that makes sense, adding another variant to the component messes up the order of component properties. So please can Figma respect the existing (user-defined) order of component properties when you add a second variant to a component?

Variables: Ability to let 'Viewers' select color variables eg. Light/Dark

I use color variables for a labeled-website that supports different retailer themes and have Light/Dark mode. I want QA/Dev Figma viewer users to be able to switch retailers/theme and switch between light and dark mode. I want the interface similair to what I see (as an editor) where I can select these values under the Layers panel. I would want to select which variables I want users to have access to.

Meta data in objects & SVG export

I’m in a position where I would really appreciate the ability to add meta-fields to objects that would transfer along with SVG exports. (Long story) You could write them under a specific namespace along with other SVG attributes. Besides string values, the ability to store a reference to another object in the SVG would be nice also (i.e. linking functionality between certain pieces) I’m now thinking of a naming scheme to implement these, but a native support would be swell.

Underlining text with descenders is broken

Underlines have been broken since I started using Figma when it first came out. It is the only thing that frustrates me (this program is perfect in every other way, seriously). There have been several tickets opened about it that were auto-closed due to inactivity: Text underline "ink skip" Fancier underlines for links Type setting for underline to ignore descenders The basic problem (and I will re-use an image from that first link, thank you @jdb) is that descenders (seen on glyphs like “g” or “j”) are overlapped by the underline in text elements. The top example (without ink skip) is the way it currently works, and the bottom (with ink skip) is the default behavior in web browsers and is currently not possible in Figma: Is there a possibility that we can get a font option to allow for this behavior? As @Lino_Ramirez and @Gary_Tam have mentioned, this is a CSS option that can be configured. I understand that it’s most likely not as easy as adding an option to enable some CSS proper

Make all modal windows higher! / resizable

The Interaction details modal is not very tall, making that extra scroll mandatory to set up custom bezier EACH time we create a Smart Animate animation which is probably 100000x a day . It would be a time-saver to just make that modal higher. We use very large screen in our office and this window could be at least 3 times higher and still have space under it 😅.

Toggle Browser Overlays

I’m building a web app. The issue I have is that the mobile frame options in Figma don’t include the header and footer that browsers have. So when you preview your work, it looks like a native app, not how you’d actually see it when browsing the web on a phone. I know I can manually add this as a header and footer for every frame for every page of the site I’m designing, but it’s kind of a pain. Real mobile browsing includes these headers and footers of the browser. 2. 3: Would like to see an option to turn on this kind of overlay for frames, so I can easily design for mobile browsing, and not just for native apps.

Sort by last edited

In Figma, all the boards, etc can only be sorted by when I last viewed. That’s not very useful (I know what I’ve viewed) What would be much more useful would be to view by last edited so I can view what is the most recently changed thing.
