When building a design system I base a lot of values on some sort of root token. When speaking about font sizes or spacings this becomes pretty clear what I am speaking about. Think of a base spacing variable „spacing-sm-base“ which holds the value „8“. Then I want to create another variable „spacing-md“ which holds the value „{spacing-sm-base}*2“ (multiplying the nested value with the factor 2) I could then create another spacing variable nesting the previously built {spacing-md} and multiply it by a certain factor or divide it or add another value. Basically using math, like it is already possible in token studio. Would be nice to see that natively

When copying and pasting components from another project (Project B) to the one we are currently working on (Project A), it would be useful to give us the option to match and replace styles with the same name. For example: For Project A I need to add a communication form on the “Contact Us” page. Since I have already worked on a similar form for Project B, I want to reuse the same form master component, instead of creating another one from scratch. For Project A I use color styles such as “Light Gray”, “Dark Gray”, “Icon color”. This is the same style structure I used for Project B as well. When I paste the component from Project B on Project A, Figma recognizes that I use the same naming system for my color styles. Figma then opens up a pop-up window with the following message: "These 3 color styles use the same name. Would you like to adjust and replace the newly added styles to the ones you are already using on “Project A name”? Yes/No/Don’t show again this messafe for this file.

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When editing text on the canvas, I expect CTRL + D to delete forward. Figma does support some of these OS level behaviors when editing text in the canvas (e.g., CTRL + H, CTRL + K), just not uniformly. What I find most frustrating is that CTRL + D works when editing the names of Layer and Page names in the left panel. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) See Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Would anyone else like to see more canonical keyboard shortcuts available when editing inside a text frame?

If you move any boxes with arrows or lines, they all develop gnarly kinks in the lines. Can you please fix it so that they auto-adjust? If I select a group of boxes and arrows and move them somewhere, the lines should all try to straighten out to the closest distance. Any text on the lines should also move with it in the right proportion. Right now, if I shorten a line, the text on it will go all over which way. Keep it fixed where I placed it.

I was excited for the new Component Properties and how they might simplify my components, but I haven’t been able to make much use of it because most of my components involve nested components, which the Component Properties can’t control. For example: Suppose you have a Modal component, which has within it a Button component. You may want the Modal component to have a Component Property for the Button’s CTA text - but that’s not possible. It is possible to override the visibility and text within nested components, so it seems like Component Properties should be able to control this. Also, I’ve already built countless components so that all of the variants are based on one master component. Component Properties can’t be used for these at all since they’re entirely nested components. If I detach all the instances, I’m worried that will undo all of the overrides in designs when the component is published. Hopefully a future update will allow Component Properties to control nested compone

Apparently shift-enter allows us to duplicate a variable but that is NOT discoverable—so a right-click menu option would be great. Additionally there isn’t a way to move variables between collections, so that would be the next useful menu option.

I love the “Spotlight me” feature, but it’d be great if we can also have a “Spotlight this person” feature so that way, I can spotlight my PM partner or some other non-designer instead of needing to ask them to spotlight themselves or have everyone click on that person’s icon to follow them.

Kindly integrate Visual Lansa with Figma so we can develop no code low code cross platform application and ERP solutions on Figma.

Hi. In the new Figma version, selecting and changing fonts is not convenient. 1 In the new version not possible to select texts and switch between the fonts by arrows up/down to see which font text looks better 2 The name of the font can’t be copied. Can you back Figma’s text settings behavior to the previous behavior? Thank You

The context menu in FigJam is always in my way. It’s frequently on top of the very thing I need to access. I accidentally click options I don’t want all the time, which I then need to undo. It’s very frustrating. For me, having content constantly appear and disappear (menus) creates a poor UX. Provide the option to fix the context menu in one place in the screen and move it around where I want it. It wouldn’t be fixed to the canvas, but to a fixed point in the window. I can put it wherever is convenient for me. Dovetail does this nicely with their tag menu. It pops up, stays visible, and I can drag it around the window where it will stay put. The contents of the menu changes, but the frame stays visible and in place.

There are times when I accidentally move an item instead of copying it. Applies to components.

I am introducing a scenario where there are multiple iterations happening even after the designs were dev ready. So in this case, I have started a new page rather than editing the previous dev ready page. So when I completed the new design and the page name for the final design is already having the dev ready icon, but it is still confusing when the previous page is also having the dev ready icon. I tried right clicking on the page but it never showed an easy way to remove the dev ready icon. instead I was forced to remove the dev ready from each of the sections within that page. It would be really great if you incorporate this small feature of removing the dev status from the page section as that would reduce the pain of individually removing the dev ready status from each sections.

In some cases, you want two drag scenarios to bring two different results. So for instance, i want when a user drags the bottom sheet handle to the bottom it closes the bottom sheet but when dragged to the top it enlarges the sheet.

Would be nice to have a searchbar in the branches panel for when you have a large list and it turns difficult to find the branch you are searching for.

Why remove variable bindings from nested instances? I don’t understand this feature, and every time I bind a child component, if I wrap another component around the child component, it gives me a reminder that the variable binding has been removed from the nested instance. But I don’t want it to unbind variables！！！

Idea is that the text block should keep all the text but everything that goes beyond the block must be clipped (the same as Clip content for frames). Ideally, an ellipsys (three dots) should be placed at the end of this block (similar to text-overflow: ellipsis in CSS).

When swapping libraries figma only swaps styles and components that are named exactly the same. If you have named components with spaced between “/” like so: “Alerts / Error” it will not match “Alert/Error” when swapping libraries. It would be nice if the spaces adjacent to the “/” in names are stripped when figma tries to match the components. Or figma tries to find components/styles with spaces and without, So you get an option if there are two matches. With huge libraries and many of them, Its a pain to go through them all and rename styles and components correctly.

Hi, I can not see any info about this. Is there any way to lock your design to be either portrait or landscape mode? Thanks!

I want to be able to drag flow names to reorder them.

Can Figma add a ‘thanks’ emoji to the small set of permitted emojis on comments. Because I’m too lazy to thank people with words and a ‘thumbs up’ in that situation doesn’t seem… grateful enough.

I reached the limit of the canvas, it would be nice for the canvas to be infinitive

I’ve looked at all the discussion threads, I think I didn’t miss a discussion about this topic if there was one. Situation: The frame names are not shown when copy and paste frames from Figma to FigJam Since so many friends requested the sync for FigJam when Figma is updated… Can we have the frame name to be updated and synced to FigJam as well? We received the request from our SQA team. They expect the frame name of Figma files can also be shown on FigJam; therefore, they can double-check if it’s the right page.

It is really frustrating trying to navigate around Figma. I expect the left side panel to be a directory structure. I don’t like having to click “all teams” (I’m only part of 1) and click through card-style links. Sometimes I’m taken to a page and I don’t know how I got there or have a clear mental model of “where” i am in Figma.

Would be great to be able to set certain elements on a FigJam board as a reusable component. Use case: I’m currently looking at competitors. Across various regions, some competitors are repeated in various regions, each competitor card has a set of information on it, that I now have to repeat multiple times unnessarily. This kind of use case in FigJam happens a lot with me where I need to reuse a component on the board I am on, and am not able to. I know I can bring components in from a Figma file, but that’s not the same, and doesn’t work great.
