Suggest a Feature

When previewing in the mirror the app it does not allow changing width fit to hight fit. If we are designing anything in landscape view it becomes hard to preview design. Is there a way to make the preview hight fit?

I want to share a certain point from the version history with developers so they have a finished version they can inspect while I work on a new version. However, while I can find where I can copy and share the link of a restore point in the version history, when others view them, they cannot switch to “inspect” to see the version history.

Figma’s almost entirely replaced my set of tools and it’s a lifesaver! Still a few features I miss out from Photoshop which I think can be implemented to Figma. Font Filter: So, I used to use illustrator for this and obviously that’s what it’s meant for. But now that I’ve switched to Figma almost entirely, I see myself going back to Illustrator for just this feature. So when I’m selecting fonts, there are no previews. There is also no way to filter them by sans serif, serif, etc. I’d love to see something along these lines implemented!

I use components from a design system library. I override many things in the components. When a component updates, my overrides are preserved - except fill. That is a problem, especially when the fill is an image. Every time the component updates, the image is gone (reset to the default image). It is a real pain and I wish this was changed soon.

While I’m typing in a text box, I’d love to hit Tab or another keyboard shortcut to fill the text box with lorem ipsum or another stock text.

I need create style for border radius

I have created a plugin for Figma for our styling needs but given that our designers work with large files, it is not very convenient for them when the plugin takes up precious screen space as they try to navigate their design. I was wondering if it is possible to move the functionality of your plugin to the right sidebar as one of the options along with Design, Prototype, and Code. That way, designers can access the functionality of the plugin from the right-hand bar without having to open the plugin which takes up screen space. See the screenshot for reference.

When having multiple different frame ratios in the same page, it is sometimes difficult to be changing the screen size in the prototype panel to test the designs in the preview while working. Would be helpful if either : You could manually save a few screen ratios in the prototype panel to quickly switch; If you automatically get some suggestions for screen ratios according to the frames you have on the page. See here my very quick very sloppy illustrations of what I have in mind → Would save sooooo much time ! Curious whether other designers would benefit from it?

I’m building a figma plugin where I’m giving the user a button to record their audio. I’m using the Web Audio API with the following code snippet: **var** audioContext = **new** **AudioContext**(); navigator.mediaDevices.**getUserMedia**({ audio: true }) .**then**(**function**(stream) { **var** source = audioContext.**createMediaStreamSource**(stream); }) .**catch**(**function**(err) { console.**log**('Error: ' + err); }); ’m able to console.log(navigator), but there’s no mediaDevices field showing up. I think the issue is that the plugin window is an iframe and in order to get mic access from an iframe, I have to add an attribute to the iframe tag (javascript - Cam access for embedded iframe - Stack Overflow 1). However, I don’t see how I can get access to the tag. Would anyone be able to answer this? Thanks!

I’m so used to the browser pattern when when you want to look up something, you open up a new tab to search for it. I keep finding myself doing that with figma where I open a new tab to open up an existing file. It makes me want to search file titles and be able to open it from the new tab rather than clicking back to the home tab and sifting through my files.

How about being able to split a text area into a certain amount of columns? Adobe InDesign is doing something like that for example, and it could definitely help organising a huge amount of text on a design!

This is the singular reason why choosing fonts is so tedious in Figma. I’m thankful for the update to finally be able to see the font before applying it to my text (which is the literal bare minimum), but being able to see what a font looks like doesn’t make choosing a font any easier if you know what kind of font you need, but you still have to scroll through hundreds of alphabetically organised fonts of varying classifications that don’t apply to you, when a simple filter would make the decision 10 times quicker. It makes the experience of designing start to finish in Figma frustratingly difficult.

Problem: I’m updating components in my team’s Design System Library and I’d like to know how many instances/files/projects/teams these changes will impact. Context: I am on the Org plan. I have several components and variants. In the case of Top Bars (one family of components), many of the variants are simply not in use, and may be removed or consolidated with zero impact. Others are used hundreds of times across many files and teams. Currently, I have to go into the library analytics tool to cross-reference. I’d love to see some of this data as metadata (a simple instance count would be ⭐ ) on components in the main component page. Bonus points if I can get links back to individual files, or even just to deep link into the analytics modal. For the community: Are there any plugins or workarounds you know of to make this easier? How many of you are struggling with making updates to heavily-used design libraries?

It would be really great if there was an option in an auto layout frame where the frame would wrap the objects to the next line. Like this. Objects would respect the padding set in the Auto layout. Loom

Currently if a layer is clipped by a parent frame that layer only exports the visible content. My proposal is to include an option to export the entire contents of a layer (including clipped/non-visible areas). E.g. ☑️ Export only visible content - or something similar.

I know this is an idea stolen from Sketch, but I think it is worth stealing as it is good! 😁 Copy an item from one part of the canvas Move to where you want to insert it Right click the mouse and one of the right click menu items is Paste here This allows you to paste in the spot of choice The current behaviour is once you’ve copied something, if you paste it pastes on top of the original item, which is useful if you need it, but not useful if you have already moved around the canvas.

I am developing the following widgets for Figma and FigJam.Figma I would like to make this widget compatible with Dev Mode. To do so, I have specified the following editorType in manifest.json. "editorType": [ "figma", "figjam", "dev" ] However, I get a Manifest error and cannot use the widget. Manifest error A Plugin can't have both "dev" and "figJam" in editorType. I only want the URL and title of the link to be reflected in Dev Mode only when the widget is used in Figma, so the support in Dev Mode is an auxiliary feature. Therefore, please allow us to develop widgets for Figma, DevMode, and FigJam.

I’m a designer who’s learning how to build Figma plugins. I was following Figma’s tutorial and here are my gripes with it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExwP3Kmh-vI&t=724s&ab_channel=Figma 1. Overall video is too long As someone who has some background knowledge in JS, it felt like there was too much content to digest. I would suggest splitting the video to 2 videos; the first which teaches you how to format your menu in ui.html, and the second where it talks about passing values from ui.html to code.js and accessing data from your Figma file 2. Info on including external libraries is sparse/none existent In the video, when the author wants ui.html to make use of Thomas Lowry’s UI library, they say to simply paste in the link tag as such: [link rel=“stylesheet” href=“https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thomas-lowry/figma-plugin-ds/dist/figma-plugin-ds.css”] What they didn’t mention in that video was that: a) Figma plugins only loads content from ui.html, code.js, and stuff from whi

Well, recently I migrated to Figma because Adobe apparently won’t take care of XD anymore, so I’m having to adapt to the new app, however, Figma is quite strange at first sight and doesn’t have a very intuitive UI. In terms of practicality, XD still has advantages, however, in terms of functions and stability, Figma is much better. Due to the clear abandonment of XD by Adobe, I would like to suggest some positive things that the app has that could be included in Figma, as I am learning to use it and I see that they could be useful. The first of these suggestions is the side panel, in Figma everything gets crowded and is quite awkward to use due to the overload of information, so there could be something similar to XD, where there is a button for each type of panel, the Styles panel, where only Colors, Fonts and Components that the user has saved are shown, the Layers panel, which shows the layers and their groups, and the Plugins panel, where the plugins that the user uses are fixed an

Hey Figma, What happened to the super handy shortcut when working with libraries. When i click CMD+3 to open my libraries, the cursor doesn’t start in the search field anymore. I use to work like the Mac search CMD+SPACE, when the curser starts in the search field, its very annoying 😕

Sidebar Project Spaces would make keeping track of my projects so much easier. Sidebar Project Spaces would allow a user to create different spaces in the sidebar to organize their Team projects. I have provided an example of how this would work. In my example the user has created three Spaces (Completed Projects, In Progress, and On Deck) Users would be able to create as many spaces as they want and name them what they want. The best part of this feature is that It’s simple, it’s not requiring any files to be moved around. It literally just a visual design affordance to add better organization to a Team’s Projects. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello! Auto layout settings - align items inside container. It’s such a commonly used feature, so for me, it will be very useful. Something like this: Flex packed: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + 1 Space between: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + 0 Thanks! 👽

Would be good to assign default reviews on library files?

This was previously suggested for UX designers, but I think it has other use cases in social media too. Just a simple word and/or character counter in the text properties panel that updates as you type (the same way the width of the text box updates in the properties panel), and can be toggled off if you find it a hindrance.

Current behavior: When I paste a new image into a layer or component with the Image Fill set to “Fit” it reverts back to “Fill” every single time. Expected behavior: Pasting an image into a shape/layer/component should retain the original Image Fill setting. My work frequently involves copying an image from our production site and pasting it into my components. Since it resets image fill each time, I select every layer individually and manually reset the fill to “Fit”. This is really time consuming when working with lots of images. I see this issue has been raised before in this forum with no fix in the last 2 years.
