Enable multi-property selection

Suggestion: Enable multi-property selectionSituation:While manually selecting properties of an element, I’ve noticed that I’m currently only able to select and copy one property at a time.Problem:Using Ctrl + Left Click only selects a single property, which makes copying or modifying multiple properties time-consuming and repetitive.Proposed Solution:Introduce the ability to select multiple properties at once using a combination like Ctrl + Shift + Left Click. This would allow users to quickly select and copy multiple properties, significantly improving workflow efficiency.Benefit:This small but powerful enhancement would save time, reduce manual effort, and streamline the editing process—especially during high-volume design or development tasks.

Combine string variables in text layers

I was trying to find a way to combine more than one string variable together without the need to create to text layers. My use case is: I have plenty of small string variables with specific details associated with a main variable mode. I have plenty of variables modes. I need to combine some of the variables together to generate a more complex string. Current possible solutions (both the solutions are not great for various reasons): Create 2 text layers and connect them with String Variable A and String Variable B. [I need to create an auto-layout frame that contains the 2 layers and resize automatically based on text content and if a variable is empty for any reason] Create a String Variable C that contains String Variable A and String Variable B. [I need to copy and paste the content of both Variables A and B into Variable C. If anything change in time for A or B, I have to change also C] I’d love to have an option to say: this text layer contains Variable A + Variable B (+ can b

Figjam: Hold CTRL to disable snap to grid

Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe there’s anyway to disable the snap to grid with a keyboard shortcut. Typically in programs I’ve used, you can disable snapping by holding CTRL or ALT. Since ALT has the functionality of duplicating the selected item, it would be nice if holding CTRL then could be used to prevent items from snapping to the grid when dragging them. Thank you+1

Add way to change opacity for color variables alias, fills, strokes, etc

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation: Cant override opacity in the alias: Example 2 Cant override the fill opacity:

LAUNCHED: Copy/Move variable groups into other collections

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them. I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.

Sharing - 'promote' permissions

Context: I’m part of a Figma Organisation team with thousands of design/FigJam files. We do our best to keep files properly organised within teams/projects for discoverability and general hygiene, but could probably stand to improve. General Figma comprehension across the wider business is quite poor.We often need to share files with other staff in the business (very few files have open access i.e. are automatically shared with everyone in the organisation). However, many people don’t seem to understand how permissions naturally work, i.e. sharing a project facilitates access to all child files; sharing a team facilitates access to all child projects & thereby files, etc.More often than not, editors will share links to the files they’re working on even when they’re concurrently working on several files within the same project and might as well have just shared the link to the overarching project instead, which would give them access to all current and future files within that proje

Hide some layers or effects in development mode

In Dev mode, sometimes the effects designed by the designer are not suitable for the developer.The developer may only need a cutout that contains a part of the layer or effect instead of the full cutout.But in Dev mode, there is no function to hide the layer or effect (small eyes), which will result in the designer having to deal with the extra layer repeatedly every time.

Support for zoom in presentation view

The presentation view needs to support zoom. Currently it’s impossible to view large frames in presentation view as we’re limited to 3 options: 100% display at full size Fit scale down to fit Scale down or up to fill #1 displays the content too big, and #2 and #3 display the content too small.

Select which properties to expose on nested component instances

Lately I’ve noticed that when I have several nested components, I would only like to be able to modify some and not all. This would allow the component that draws on other components to have efficient adaptability in its contextual use. I am setting the variables for the Button component using variables and would not like the size property to be exposed so that the component has a desired behavior based on the active variable.

Add Stagger animation to AutoLayout co ntainers

It would be great to add a animation to a auto layout container with X ammount of the same children layers This would animate in a stagger like manner, with posibility to add delay between each children, and a animation type ( fade in, slide in, etc) This would be a killer animation addition in my opinion

Fr/Percent units for more control over auto layout content

Although I find the new autolayout UI extremely convoluted and overdesigned, the ‘hug/fill parent’ feature is great. However, It would be immensely helpful to have more control over how the elements fill the parent. Currently, the only option is for the elements to fill the remaining space, but oftentimes, I need certain elements to take up a certain proportion. Example: I need element-1 to take up 2fr (~66%) and the rest to take up 1fr (~33%). It would be a game-changer if we could use ‘fr’ units. Framer does this beautifully and it’s vital for efficient, adaptive layout workflows:

Please introduce long-press functionality for key/gamepad interactions!

I create prototypes for TV using a Flirc device to enable us to test with a remote control that is mapped to keyboard keys using your key/gamepad option in the interaction details panel. The ability to long-press a key on the remote is a key interaction for us and the addition of a drop-down menu to enable the long-press of certain keys (amongst other options) would be greatly appreciated! I have created a mock-up of one way that this could work… but would welcome any way to achieve what I have described above!

Paste without annotations

I can’t seem to find a way to paste designs without copying over the annotations on elements. I don’t always want to duplicate the annotations, just the design.I think just adding a menu item or keyboard shortcut to “Paste without annotations” would make sense.

Allow percentages for line height

Firstly great job Figma Font variables are here!!! Figma tutorial: Variables for typography The only thing missing is the use of percentages in the line-height property. You can not use a percentage in the line-height as it only accepts variables that are a number type. Although the variables for line-height caters for pixel (absolute) line-heights (10,12,14)- it does not accommodate relative line heights. In other words you can’t use percentage variables for line heights that are a percentage of the font size (100%, 120%,150%). Interestingly …You can use a variable for letter-spacing ( which accepts a number variable - but reads it as a percentage) - the challenge remains that line heights by default are absolute not percentages - even though you can input a percentage. Percentages allow greater flexibility and less calculations Word around would be to allow formula in a variable e.g. =[variable] * 1.5 Or figuring out a way for the line height to be toggle between absolu

Add a Windows device frame for prototype

There’s currently only Mac device frames to represent desktops. For showing UIs on Windows it would be nice to have a Windows laptop device frame to not confuse or distract stakeholders who expect a Windows design presentation.

Make variable groups collapsible

Hi Figma Team, I would love to have an option to collapse variable groups in the variable modal. Problem: Every time I’m opening the variable modal, each group is being expanded. Having a lot of component tokens as variables, this means either: Collapsing each group manually, until I get to the desired variable group. Or scrolling a looong way down until I reach the desired variable group. Solution: A) By default variable groups should be collapsed, not expanded B) A shortcut to collapse all groups

Adding simple chart to Figma Slides (like powerpoint)

For sales or anybody that want to show data about his product or company, it would be cool to be able to add line charts or pie chart easily. Right now we need to edit it ourself, but non designers would not be confortable to ajust it. It will be fun to have a tool to create chart where we just have to put our data and it create the chart.

Convert between stickies to shapes and vice-versa

I have a bunch of stickies that I’d like to make into shapes (rectangles) so that I can resize them/remove authorship. Is there a way to do this besides copy and pasting text into a new shape?

File sorting (Alphabetical/Date Created/Last Modified) choice should be persisent and remembered

Figma has stopped remembering the file sorting preference: It now always defaults to ‘Last Modified’ at the beginning of session, no matter what your choice was. Can we have it back?This is now default at the beginning of every sessionI am these days having to open this dropdown ‘Sort By’ → Alphabetical 30 times a day. Last modified does not work for us since it shows us whole new set of files every time because how many people work and edit files daily; Alphabetical works better for us since we use numerical naming and then every file is correctly displayed in the intended order of product importance (home, registration, features, etc)

Dear Figma team

I would like to express my concern regarding the new interface design (UI3). Specifically, the fixed action bar is quite uncomfortable for the design experience. The fact that it cannot be moved or repositioned freely limits the visibility of the canvas and disrupts the workflow—especially when working on large projects or with many elements.This static bar visually interferes and reduces the effective working area, which is a significant drawback compared to the previous version, where users could adapt the workspace to their preferences.I would appreciate it if you could consider offering an option to customize the position of this bar or make it floating, as it was in UI2.Thank you for your attention and for continuing to improve the tool.

Variants: Set default variant based on order of property values

Right now it seems like the ‘default’ variant is set based on which variant is ‘upper leftmost’ in the variant container frame. Instead, I suggest decoupling arrangement from precedence, and using the property ordering functionality to determine the default variant. The default variant should simply be the one with the first value for each property, regardless of where it’s placed in the variant frame. This would allow teams to set defaults directly from the properties panel, without having to move components around. See this thread for some more context: How to set defaults / precedence of variants with multiple properties?

🎨 Feature Request: FigPal Cemetery – A Place to Mourn and Remember

SummaryApril Fun Week has come and gone, and with it, our beloved FigPals have been snatched from this cruel digital plane. I humbly propose the addition of a FigPal Cemetery – a memorial space within Figma where we can honor the memory of our lost pixelated companions.BackgroundFor one brief, shining week, tiny joy-gremlins followed our cursors around the canvas. They watched us prototype. They witnessed our questionable auto-layout decisions. They were there for us in ways no plugin ever could be.And now? They're gone. Just gone. No goodbye. No grave. No closure.Proposed Feature A toggleable "Cemetery Mode" in Figma Tombstones for each FigPal variant (ghost variants optional) Visitors can leave notes ("You always hovered with such enthusiasm", "Rest in pixels") Epitaph generator (e.g., “Here lies Blurple the Bold. Died chasing a component into an infinite frame nest.”) Optional seasonal ghost sightings around Halloween 👻 RationaleThe design community needs a space for collec

Change default canvas stacking in auto layout

I am using auto layout a lot in my projects and think it is awesome. However, there is one small issue that annoys me a lot. The default setting for canvas stacking is always “Last on top”, which is usually not what I want. For instance when switching state of a dropdown in a layout, the dropdown list will appear below the content that is underneath it (at least in my case where the list is using absolute position). With lots of nested auto layouts, things quickly become a mess if you forgot to change this when you created the auto layout. I would suggest either of these solutions: Change default to “First on top”. Make the default setting optional Remember the last used setting (like the animation properties work)
