Suggest a Feature

Well, according to some earlier forum posts, Figma clearly has no plans to launch a Linux app. I don’t personally mind using it in a browser, but local fonts don’t work. Could we at least get a Fonts Helper for Linux, if not the full app? Thanks.

Proposed FeatureAdd a status bar toggle in the design panel for mobile frames. When a default device frame is created, designers should be able to switch the matching status bar on or off without searching files, copying components, or rebuilding status bars manually.This removes the need for standalone status bar components in the layers panel. As long as the frame matches official device dimensions, the design panel shows the status bar toggle and applies the correct, up to date version automatically. This would cut setup time in early design stages and keep files cleaner.:) Feel free to comment and share your thoughts on this feature idea.  Further Improvements to the toggle• Automatic color inversion so the status bar keeps proper contrast on any background, similar to real devices• Controls to adjust status bar elements like the camera, microphone and location indicators

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

Figma make has been super useful! I like that you can click elements and there are basic things you can edit, such as font, size, spacing, etc. It would be even better to take it further by allowing basic editing right in the file, without having to go as far as creating it into a design file.For example, I wanted to delete some text elements. Or change some text, move a couple things around. These simple things are a lot faster to just do yourself, than ask AI to do little things and wait. Then you might not even like it and want to change it back! Sincerely, I’m impatient and also like getting my design hands dirty.

There’s only a handful of color styles I use very often. But I always have to search/scroll past all the ones that aren’t useful. Having a way to sort the color picker by recent would be a game changer for speed and productivity, ideally it would persist till the user changes it. Could probably use an icon button to the left of the grid vs list view.

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.

Can we add “move/add to a file” link so we can do that easily for files in drafts? Maybe put a link next to Drafts. I am not trying to go to the Drafts file at this point when I’m moving files. Every time I click the folder or Drafts link I get taken to back to home to that folder and that is never my intention with this action. 

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Copying text from figma that has shift+enter line spacing introduce unusual line terminator character. This usual character will display on some web browsers. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Create any text layer Enter any text then force line separator using shift+enter Copy text and check using tools like unicode detector https://www.textmagic.com/free-tools/unicode-detector and you will see an invalid unicode character. 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. Clean up manually using te

It would be great if the code panel would also be visible in the Component playground in Dev Mode. I understand the importance of restricting developers from making changes to the design, which is why we have the Component playground. However, developers might also need to inspect a component in various states, not just the state initially set by me. This feature would greatly benefit developers by reducing the need to navigate back and forth between views, pages, or files. I was envisioning something like this:

TImes I have been working in a file and want the assets panel to show: 0 Times I have been frustrated that the assets panel is showing by default as it is a library but I want to access the layers panel: 1,923,328 OK OK, that is an exaggeration, but since I find the Assets panel confusing, poorly designed and not very useful, I never use it. I am always either copy/pasting components, or using things like ‘insert’. I NEVER want to see the Assets panel and I am constantly being annoyed I have to manually switch to the assets panel, many times a day. I find it weird it defaults to that as well, cos when I am in a library I am working on the assets, not needing to pull them into the canvas. I also turn all my files that consume design system libraries into libraries themselves, cos I often make entire artboards into components so they can be duplicated elsewhere in the file and automatically update with changes to them, or place them into other files.

As a developer with read-only access, I don’t have any means to know/access what the Max lines should be for this text. (which from designer is set to 3)

 I've been here for two days, this service looks good and easy to use. I just want to mention two things. When you download the code, the App.tsx file isn't downloaded, and second, the utils.ts file should be generated in /lib/utils.ts to avoid compilation errors. Well, that's all. Regards.

I want to make a prototype where something changes when user scrolls content. I want to keyboard collapse when user starts scrolling content, but it’s impossible to do with drag action. Or it feels unnatural Or am I missing a way to do it with existing tools?

We use Figma a lot for client presentations and to showcase video snippets. We recently discovered the figjam workaround to embed videos in the Edit View, but its not possible to rescale those Widgets from FigJam and more annoyingly the are not playable in the prototype/presentation view. There is a Plugin called YouTube and Vimeo from Ampier, but its also not working in presentation view…but has more than 45k user…there is a need for it 😉 Pleeeease let us embed Youtube/Vimeo Videos in Figma nativly and also play those videos when presenting. Vote here so that this gets some visbility

Hi,We have thousands of icons as components in our library that should not be linked via Code Connect.It would be great to have a way to multi-select them and apply a batch action, such as “Skip connection”.At the moment, I would need to click on each icon, select “Skip connection” on the next screen, then go back to the list… Something like this, used in combination with filtering by name would be great!Thanks

Would love if the conditional statement could include IF // IF ELSE instead of just IF // ELSE

I want to share my own experience and I think having the option to collapse all frames and groups at once is very important because it is very annoying to close all groups one by one when you have a lot of them.

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

when i try to export library to figma make, there is error tip: “We ran into an error while extracting your library” and I try to export only one very simple component it doesn't work.

I prefer to use Figma when the left panel is hidden. When I have to search for components, I either need to reveal the left panel or use the actions panel, which doesn’t allow me to quickly search components, as I have to use both the mouse and keyboard for every single component. Please allow using tab in the command menu.  

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down. I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off. Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked) This has been such a huge thorn in my side! Please & thank you!

I’m super excited to be using native variables in Figma; however, there are couple of glaring holes. Identifying an EM scale for text (maybe this will come with Font Variables support) Need to be able to reference an existing Variable (an Alias) and be able to do math on it; for instance, if Spacer = 20px, i would like to be able to reference {spacer}/2 to get 10px without changing the parent value

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂
