Suggest a Feature

I preferred the pages to be a dropdown list

We could have multiple colour palettes to switch between and see what best will go with the UI. Now you see we know 3 types of colour blindness, so considering WCAG… some systems are intended to be built for colour blind people as well. So if we create replaceable colour palettes according to different types of colour blindness, we can easily apply different colour palettes and replicate them into the same UI with a single click, instead of manually creating the themes. This feature can save lots of time so we can easily utilize it for creative tasks.

With developers, we often see issues when using or creating translation keys. It would be useful to have a possibility to add comments/metadata underneath a label or its translation key. With this, we would avoid duplicates or bad naming, etc.

The problem is that when I move my mouse to reach the tabs I’ll often accidentally touch the top of the screen, bringing in the OS menu blocking the tabs: I like the way how this problem solved in Safari

I assume you could do this with variables, but en lieu of having to set that up for every file or in a design system, it would be a nice feature to add as a toggle (maybe in developer tools). Basically I envision a toggle that turns off all image assets/fills and non-default text field values. This would help designers build presentation ready designs without having to design separate mockups to communicate data values to developers.

This tag can be utilized also to let the team understand the status of the design: Working on it, Ready for dev, deployed each should have a distinct color.

Hi Figma, Hopefully, later commit messages will be shown in the review update modal if I update an instance, such as when I update all instances on a page or across all pages. Currently, there is no information about what was updated in the review update modal, as shown below: What I need is for a commit message to be shown, similar to the library update, as shown below:

Greetings! When setting up interactive components with Smart Animate there’s quite a few easing options to pick, yet somehow the basic “ease” option is missing. In CSS, the default timing function is “ease”, which translates to bezier values of 0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1. I prefer ease since it’s been the default/standard option for eons now and I’ve been using it almost exclusively for my animations. If I recall correctly it was also the default timing function in the “Principle” app, which I used before switching to Figma (I’m sure I’m not the only one). So, “ease” being the default option I find it a bit odd it’s missing. I have to enter the custom bezier values every time I set up a component, which is why I’ve had it memorized for years. Please consider adding this timing function as an option. I’d say it should be the default since that’s how it is in the CSS, but as long as it’s just there I’d be happy. Anyway, that’s all, have a great day 🙂

💥 It’s not always obvious that you can play the video of the GIF in FigJam 😀 💡 Solution: Adding a pause status with a bit of grey opacity could help.

Hello, just a simple ask as described in the subject above. By switching the Pin Tab and Reload tab actions, it’ll bring these options in line with the Chrome/Edge’s default position on the contextual menu. That’s it. That’s the small ask if it can be incorporated. Thanks!

Seems an reasonable / figmantlyprudent thing to implement! Please let me know if I’m missing something (perhaps an outstanding plugin?)

Variants are only created vertically below the previous variant. This is a problem for assets such as menus which are vertical in nature. Allow the creation of a new variant horizontally as well as vertically. Ideally if you setup in an artboard, the new variant would be created below or to the right automatically based on the available space in the artboard.

It’s currently really frustrating managing pages in a file right now. I’d love to be able to select multiple pages with standard selection shortcuts (shift, cmnd) so that I can maintain more complex file structures easier, as well as duplicate or delete multiple pages as once.

Hey hey, Im tackling a project where end device don’t have a square pixel ratio. In photosop threre is an option to preview non-square pixel ratio out put and Im looking for a similar solution on Figma.(yes, it means I can do it on Ps but, ya) If any one has any advice or sugesstion on a work flow, I would be really grateful.

I work on design systems in Figma and have done for a few companies. It would be really useful to have the split-screen mode that you see in coding editors like VS Code. If you are trying to align components it is really useful to have them open next to you. I’ve sometimes worked around this having desktop and web views open side by side on the screen. My thought would be that the left and right panels update to match the window you are focused on. Rough Mockup: https://ibb.co/zVWpPgJ

Access favourited files, directly from inside a Figma file. ✅ Smoother context-switching ✅ Less clicks to get to a file ✅ Less journeying to the File browser view

We have noticed some inconsistencies when reimporting placeholders into Figma, like text between square brackets . They are not getting imported back and we have to manually re-add them. Bold/attributes also behave oddly when reimporting.

Can you add a setting or just altogether remove the “focus the window” behavior when a branch is successfully merged? Every time I merge, because it’s a lengthy process, I go do something else, but then the app forces focus on the window and tab, and if I was doing something else it’s more than once caused accidental edits and it ALWAYS interrupts my work. It’s so jarring and flow-breaking. I’m just hoping this is a bug that has gone overseen

Properties like “leading-trim” are still not supported in a lot of browsers, so when I design with the “Vertical Trim” option in Figma, my developer doesn’t know what to do about it, he has to calculate the actual space based on the line-height. A similar thing happens with borders. CSS only allows for outside borders, so when I design with borders inside or the center, it doesn’t translate. Please add a signal of some sort, or enable a “css-friendly” mode, so when we are designing, we are weary of using some of the most advanced WebGL features. Thanks!

I just tried publishing a library to to Community, and got an incomprehensible red snackbar saying “could not publish file… status 403”. I looked into the dev console, there was nothing useful there. Thankfully I knew I could go to the Network tab, find the failed request and look at the response: And only after that I was able to understand what exactly was wrong and what I needed to do. This is not user-friendly at all. If there’s a perfectly fine error message in the network response, it should be shown to the user in the UI.

It would be amazing to have the ability to choose the color of each bullet point on the same line, rather than having to use the same color for all the bullet points 😀

It would be great to also have variables connected to constraint proportions. e.g. it now takes two clicks to change from icon-64 to icon-48

Dear developers of Figma, thank You for Your powerful and invaluable tool for us designers You made 🙇‍♂️ I’d like to ask, have You thought about Ai integration into Figma? Something like ChatGPT prompt line? So it could map whole project, understand it, and create components, variants, tidy up designs into pixel perfect form, etc? I know this is a sci-fi, but our fellow coders already use ChatGPT as a fully integrated support of their work, so I’d like to know whether this idea is in Your scope, With kind regards Branislav

I’d love to have styles for the Auto Layout in the same way as Figma does for the grids/columns, typography, colors etc. Handy for making consistent containers. Think of changing padding globally for example. What do you think? Cheers
