Expand hover area of font size click-and-drag functionality

The hover area for the “click-and-drag to resize” functionality is only 1px wide, unlike all of the other inputs on the same panel that have a representative icon, and subsequently larger hover area. Can we add an icon or otherwise make the font size hover area consistent with its siblings?

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?

Use percentages for heights, widths, paddings, gutters in auto layout

This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Text Wrapping and Hyphenation for Better Layouts

Dear Figma Team, I am a big Figma fan and want to fully transition from Adobe, I’ve identified two key text-related SIMPLE features that would greatly improve Figma’s layout design capabilities: Text Wrapping Between Text Boxes Figma currently lacks the ability to wrap text between multiple text boxes, making multi-column layouts cumbersome. A native text threading feature (like Adobe indesign) would allow text to flow dynamically between boxes, especially when resizing frames. Hyphenation for Improved Text Alignment Long paragraphs in Figma often result in uneven spacing at the edges. A hyphenation feature (like Adobe Indesign) would automatically add dashes to break words at line ends, improving readability and visual consistency. These features would make Figma more versatile for typography-heavy designs and streamline workflows for users transitioning from other tools. The community has been asking for this improvements for years and still we have not seen any response from you. Pl

"Apply variable" for all properties in the Design Panel

Variables are great, but it would be handy to be able to apply variables to every property in the design panel. At the moment the options are limited. For example, I can’t use a variable to determine the sweep of an arc. In this case, I have a component, “Progress Circle” It has a property of “Percentage” which is applied to the text. I want to be able to apply a property to the sweep value of the purple arc and use the same variable for the two properties, keeping them in sync.

Public link sharing for Prototypes

We are on an Enterprise Licence with Figma, and as part of trying to keep our Figma files secure to external access we have changed our settings so that any public link requires a password. But we have now hit a snag where we have Designers trying to do unmoderated user testing from the Prototype screen which requires a public link so that our testing participants can jump straight in the prototype, however it seems that there is no differentiation between password options for the Figma file and the Prototype view. It would be so useful to keep the Figma file secure, i.e. the link for the Figma file itself requires a password - but the prototype view can have a public link with no password, as participants are refusing to have to create a log-in just to do some testing.

Adjust preview when sharing a frame in Slack

Currently, when I share a link to a particular frame in Slack, the preview shows the whole canvas with many frames. I would prefer to see the shared frame in the preview instead.

Add support for back/forward browser buttons in Figma

At this time, Figma doesn’t make use of browser back/forward at all. This can make it very challenging to navigate if you interact with comments, or links, especially. The general expectation here is that all places that you’ve visited would be logged in the browser history so that this can be navigated as a webpage should.

Make it possible to move Variable Mode Columns

I happily created a variables collection for my existing dark mode and light mode color style palettes that I had in my Design System. The thing is, my app is primarily designed in dark mode, but I created the light mode variables first and now I’m stuck with having light mode as the default which is very frustrating. My only option seem to be do just delete and redo the ‘light mode mode’ which I’m not that keen on doing. I wish it was possible to just change the order of my color variable mode columns horizontally using drag and drop, just like how you change order of variant properties vertically.

Prototyping with transparent videos

Whatever I try, I can’t seem to work with .mov or .webm videos with transparent background on Figma. Whenever I upload them, I get a black background. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround for this?

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

Scroll-controlled animations/image sequences

There’s been a number of occasions where I’ve had some ideas that I just can’t prototype in Figma Here’s a couple websites I’ve found that use the scroll-controlled animation/motion effect I’m trying to achieve. Anyways, please ad this Figma! https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/ https://www.caveworld.com/

UI3 Floating Edit Properties Z Index should be top most

Currently, Plugins take top z-index over the Edit Properties panels. This makes the Panels unusable when a Plugin is positioned at the right of the design area as the Panels are under the Plugin. Because I prefer and am used to using my Plugins on the right of the design area I have to either close it and reopen for ever use (absolutely ridiculous) or have it out from the side far enough to see the panels when they are opened. IN the case of a large Plugin such as Tokens Studio, this is an enormous amount of screen space even with my ultrawide screen. Simple fix. Thanks!

Bring back Minimize/Expand UI menu options to desktop app

We used to have Minimize/Expand UI menu options on the Figma desktop app. Why was this removed? It's most flexible when there are options we can customize with other keyboard shortcuts. Every user is different, and customization maximizes productivity. Was there a specific reason this was removed? Can this menu option be brought back? It's currently present in the Figma menu inside the web app but not in the desktop menu options. This makes it impossible to have access to that function and assign other keyboard shortcuts. Please bring this back to regain user customization. Having a web-based app already has its limitations, and the little custom things that can actually be accessible are being removed. :( ​@Figma_Desktop

Quickly go to last visited page and back

Clicking between two pages is inconvenient – there should be a hotkey for that. Context — I have components in Page A and need to see the changes I make on Page B. I make lots and lots of small iterations to my design and want to swap between Page A and B quickly to see results. Solution — A back and forward button (or hotkey) that let’s you jump between pages you’ve last visited and forward again.

Ability to output a color variable's value in a text layer

Seems you can only add numbers or strings to text layers. It would be great if you could output a color value as text. It’d be really useful for setting up a style guide template that can be updated to different themes.

Interactive text inputs in prototype mode

Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.

Connect or embed FigJam files with Figma files

Another nice addition would be to connect your FigJam files with related Figma files. So as not to rely on file naming. Creating links between the two would allow for easier navigation and discovery from others in the team.

Hide Comments and Presenter Notes When Sharing

This is a feature comment specifically for Slides, but I believe it applies to Figma and FigJam too. When I send a Slides presentation to a client, there is no way to hide my presenter notes or all the comments from me and my team. So before sending I have to be sure to delete all my presenter notes and comments which are only meant to be seen internally. I would love to not have to do this so I can keep internal comments and presenter notes for reference. Would be great if when sharing externally I can choose to hide comments and speaker notes so they can’t see them.

Comments stick to object instead of position on layout

The comments feature is very handy amongst the colleagues. It would be nice if the comments bubbles would stick to the object instead of sticking to the position within the frame. Since we are moving stuff around ( adding or subtracting elements ) the comments made should stick to the proper parts of the design. Otherwise, when we move things around, the comments don’t make sense anymore because they do not relate to the object’s new position.

Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

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 absolute or relative
