Can't use variables to create a percentage on Letter Spacing

I use percentages in a project for the letter spacing. I can’t use variables to achieve this value. It always defaults to pixels.

Support for blend modes with variables

Our design system leverages mix blend modes for hover states so our icon buttons appear on any background color and remain accessible, without needing separate hover–on-primary, hover–on-secondary, etc tokens. We use multiply for light theme, and screen for dark theme. It would be really awesome if we could apply blend modes directly to the color variables, OR support blend modes as variables in general. Our current work around is to apply the blend mode directly on each component variant, but this requires us to define separate light and dark theme variants. would be great if we could use variables here to have it automatically switch between light/dark.

Slides improvement - Automatic page numbers on Slide Decks

Automatically add page numbers to the selected slide in Figma based on Slide position. Maybe we can select any text and give it the numbering option?

Need version options ASAP

The versioning in Figma Make is available, but since the AI cannot maintain consistency if there is a way to list and name these versions, it will be easier to fix the mistakes and issues.

Choose which properties to publish

Add the ability to select which properties to publish of a component and of a nested component. One use case for this is State in many components such as Button. State has Default, Hover, and Pressed. These states don’t need to be published, they are purely used for prototypes. I don’t want to clutter the properties list for consuming designers. Disabled and Error are created as Variants with “true” and “false” values. There’s no need to publish State property. Original idea here requested by XavierV

Exclude by key in Component Search

As a designer using a design system and searching or swapping a component instancr, often a term you search pulls up other components not in line with what you want because of a similarity in name. The most common culprit are icons.It would be great to do a quick negative filter like in VSCode with find and replace when looking for components to swap or insert to negate a group of components. This could also be a quick hack to cut out other active design systems from the keyboard.

Limit "allow to copy, share, and export" option to developers only

Would be nice to limit this permission to developers only, while still allowing other roles to view files. It is about time Figma improves the role and permissions management. We need dev roles or more granular permission settings.

Non-published components don't receive updates

We’re working on a larger Component library that includes non-published components (components with the prefix _ or .) as base components in order to simplify large, complex components. We intended – in some specific cases – to offer regular components as templates, that a designer would then have to detach and work with a bunch of base components to build the desired design. What we have come to realize with this approach, however, is that these non-published components don’t receive updates from the library when they are updated in the main library. Is this intended behaviour? We basically have the option to simply publish these base components as regular components, but that of course would mean cluttering up the assets overview with a bunch of modular components.

Export/record prototype to Video or GIF

As a designer I would like to record my prototype screen or export it as a gif so I can use it in presentations and send quick examples in the team group. It would be great to have the same feature then Principle to record or export the prototype to gif. Does anyone have the same need? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Enforce branching from main file

It’s currently too easy for contributors to make small changes that go unnoticed by maintainers. Especially in large files, there’s no way to track exactly what changed. Enforcing that the main file cannot be edited unless you branch will allow maintainers to view exactly what has changed and require reviews of contributions.

Right Click and Double Click triggers for prototypes

Our app has right click options but are limited to one click only with Figma. Would anyone else be interested in having right vs left click options for prototyping?

Make it sticky!

I wish there was a right click option if Figma that lets you select any item on your canvas and lock it to sticky, so the reference can follow you as you pan around, just a simple “make sticky” and you can still move it around if you need to adjust where it is “sticky” from. aaagh.

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!

Spacebar Pan Behaviour

Currently trying to pan with spacebar is not working in many scenarios because other areas of the app are “in focus”. This is super annoying because you always have to click inside the canvas to get focus to be able to pan again. However, this selects or deselects elements which is almost never wanted.Even when in prototype mode and an interaction is selected, paning doesn’t work, even though the focus is in the canvas area.Also super annoying, when clicking on a comment, the focus goes directly into the reply input. So pressing spacebar to pan results in a comment consisting of a lot of spaces.This is super annoying and costs a lot of time accumulated during the whole day. Please make spacebar pan work always! No matter where you focus is, as long as the mouse is in the canvas area. Or at least include a setting to control the behaviour.Thanks!

True 9-slice feature request

Now that the glass effect has been released (which, by the way, is amazing), it's time to remember the 9-slice feature, which still has not been implemented natively. I'm talking about functionality similar to what exists in Unity. In this system, an image is marked with guides — without being sliced into separate parts — so that it can be stretched without distorting the corners. Unity, by the way, allows not only stretching the middle sections but also tiling them. Yes, it's possible to achieve this functionality now using plugins in Figma, but all of them work by slicing the image into parts, which makes updating these images complicated. It's often easier to create a new one than to edit an existing one.Since this functionality is very common in game development and mobile game design, it would be great to have compatibility with Unity for this feature. That way, the same image could be used both in Unity and Figma. This would greatly simplify the pipelines and effectiveness of gam

Figma Slides: Content management for slides?

I’m in a company with a large sales team, with multiple client meetings weekly. So we have a lot of repetitive slide decks get duplicated and modified, with new content and infographics tweaked on a weekly basis. Templates for STYLING is amazing, as the only designer, I LONG for the days I don’t have to bully clumsily placed pixels, poorly cropped photography and off-brand typography in Keynote on a near-daily basis in order to keep our branding on point. However, despite Figma having by far the strongest offering regarding DESIGN templates (yay), a way to retrieve the CONTENT of slides, making CONTENT changes that could be published to ALL related slides is entirely lacking. If INDIVIDUAL SLIDES could be TAGGED, or otherwise CATEGORISED, it would make searching for, and maintaining relevancy of content much more effective. Currently as a sales team member, if we switched to Figma, I’d still have the problem of remembering not only which deck a certain slide exists in, not only checkin

Expose visual line splitting for TextNodes in plugin API

 Hi 👋,I am developing a plugin that needs to analyze text blocks and split them exactly “line by line” as they appear visually in the Figma editor. The goal is to process each displayed line, including those that result from automatic wrapping (not just explicit line breaks in the text).Currently, the Plugin API only allows splitting text on explicit newline characters (\n), but there is no way to obtain the actual visual line breakdown as rendered by Figma’s text engine (i.e., where lines wrap automatically due to width, font, size, etc.).Why this matters: Many workflows (translation, accessibility, animation, content synchronization, etc.) require manipulating text “as seen” line by line. Workarounds (simulating rendering, OCR, etc.) are complex, unreliable, and do not always match Figma’s own rendering. Only Figma’s engine knows the true visual line breaks, since they depend on many internal parameters. Feature request:Would it be possible to add a method to the Plugin API that

Please add filter and search capabilities in Library Analytics

Please add search and filter in Library Analytics. As a design systems manager overseeing multiple consumer and business-facing products, navigating hundreds of variables, styles, and components without these features is challenging. Adding search and filter functionality would greatly improve efficiency and save time for users like me.

Figma Make - collect all possible UI text into a file in code view

My team needs to review all UI copy. That copy goes into a library so we can be consistent across the product. I’m trying to review and update the copy in Figma Make. However, it’s impossible to extract the reviewed copy so I can add it to the library. A separate file in code view would not only make it easier to review and make sure we haven’t missed anything (even if we then have to update the .tsx file also) but also have that record.
