Hi There, consider Dev Mode in browsers.Imagine how painful the endless right-to-left mouse work would be, if the element inspector was hard-left, with the CSS panel hard right… Well, that’s Figma today An outdated concept?It seems Figma might be based on an outdated idea that if tools are spread around the work area, it’s more efficient.But in reality, that’s not how it works because we use the grabber hand to position work next to the tools. So when the tools are all on one side, there’s never any need to move to the far left - drastically reducing the daily grind. Reduce the daily grindPlease allow us to dock the left panel to the right, then dock the toolbar vertically next to it.It takes a day to get used to, but if you work long days, you can’t go back because most of the time, you’re only moving the mouse across half the screen… Here’s a Photoshop example… And a Figma mockup… Spare a though for all of us working long hours on large displays! Hope that all makes sense.Similar req

For many years, I’ve been working as a designer, accumulating over 10 years of experience using almost all Adobe products. Now, I’ve transitioned to Figma, as it’s an excellent tool not only for prototyping but much more. I’ve encountered an issue that might be of concern not just to me, but to others as well. Specifically, it’s about the placement of the two most important panels, namely the “Layers” and “Properties” panels, on opposite sides of the screen. I have a 34-inch monitor, and Figma is open in full-screen mode. However, when I need to perform actions on a specific set of layers, I find myself moving the cursor across the vast screen from left to right. Now, imagine needing to perform 10 or more consecutive actions like this. A significant portion of time is spent simply moving the cursor back and forth across the screen, along with the physical strain of repeatedly shifting focus and aiming at small buttons. It’s an ordeal and a waste of time on unnecessary actions. The solu

Hi, Figma community! It would be great to support dotted/dashed underlines in Figma. In CSS, it’s supported through the text-decoration-style attribute - see [text-decoration-style - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN]. Please vote 👍 👍 👍 for this feature! We hope to see it supported one day in Figma. 🥳

FigJam should have vertical alignment of text (Top, Middle, Bottom) in the table.

When using Auto Layout for an entire page flow, not everything is spaced equally. For example, imagine a page like: Toolbar Heading Paragraph Input Button To put all of these into a single Auto Layout and give equal spacing to all of it is not typically how it’d work (eg, Toolbar + Heading might be close together, but more spacing around above and below the Input). To use the benefits of Auto Layout, I wrap these objects into their own Auto Layout frames and then use the padding within these nested frames to create the spacing between elements. It’d be great to be able to apply margins to objects (like text frames or other frames) without having to first nest them into their own individual frames. This would be closer to how CSS typically works as text elements (h1, h2, p, …) don’t need to be nested in a div to have margin added to them.

it would be game changer to be able to export generated artefacts with figma make to figma design  

There is a variable option for text strings that pulls in the value of a variable. I would like to an option to apply a variable name to a text string. This would allow my design system documentation to be dynamic based on the changes I make to the variable names. I used this option in Tokens Studio and it was incredibly useful.

Right now there is no simple way to have a conversation with an LLM about a set of designs (Page/File/selected amount of artboards) in Figma. Copying/pasting screenshots is not feasible because a screenshot big enough to capture the contents of a page in figma would be way too large to paste into an LLM. Use cases: As a designer, I’m being onboarded onto a complex project and want to get up to speed as quickly as possible. I can chat with an LLM about the PRD, but not about a Figma file. It would be great if an LLM could natively scan page page or entire file and allow me to ask questions about the file without me scanning every single artboard manually to start.  I want to get feedback on a user flow/design/set of designs. This would be a big unlock because I think that AI is good at exploring the solution space for a problem when properly described/articulated but it’s a very manual time-consuming process because there is no visual element to it.  This could serve as a starting point

Ability to color code at the project level for easier PMO

I’d like to be able to choose a thumbnail (either a frame from the video, or upload a thumbnail) for an object that has Video fill. Currently Figma uses the first frame of the video as the thumbnail, and if that video starts all black, then the thumbnail is just black. It will show fine in prototype view or mirror once the video starts playing, but when you are editing it would be helpful to see a frame of the actual video so you can adjust properties of elements (e.g. colors, opacities, gradients) and see what they’ll look like composited with video.

We want to use it to link design variables to the design tokens in our application. Our company runs on a Professional plan. There are only 10 users that need access, so we don’t have any need to go to an Organization or Enterprise. I saw the same question here, but it wasn’t answered and just pointed to the Plugin API which has an entirely different use case.

We really need to be able to create animated components in a more feasable way than what it is now.By animated, I mean animated, not the ‘smart animate’ interaction transition, but classic, loopable, keyframed animation. I sometimes need to show a thing happening in background, which I can, by using variants and ‘after delay’ interaction. This, however, is really wonky because it, for some reason, blocks keyboard inputs not associated with currently animated component. THis effectively locks the entire prototype if a component loops its animation.

Simple and straightforward:I am designing prototypes for video games, that include games that rely on mouse control (strategy, city builders, turn-based) as well as ones that sometimes don’t require mouse control (first-person shooters, third-person shooters). Sometimes a screen does not have a mouse control and is reliant only on keyboard strokes (or gamepad buttons).This is critical when showing prototypes to users because I need to test whether they can function without a pointer and find their way around a screen where only keystrokes are allowed.In order to do that I need to be able to turn off mouse pointer on specific screens, but allow them on other. An example would be an FPP shooter, which normally has no pointer on HUD, but reveals one when opening up the equipment screen.

When I select a single component, I can see the nested instances I exposed (super useful). But if I multi-select the same components, those nested instances disappear.Would be awesome if they stayed visible also on multi-select — it would make bulk edits much easier.

Hi team ,I quickly created a working prototype of an idea with great results. Now I’d like to use the components I built in my design files—not just the styles and colors.Is this possible, and if so, what’s the best way to bring those custom components into my design workflow? Also, can we create a base file of custom components for Make and share it with other designers so they can build their flows using those components?Thanks in advance!

Every time I look for a component using the `option + 2` shortcut and start typing I expect the search input to be focused but it takes a second. By the time I’ve searched for a “Note” component I’ve been moved across my page to a seemingly random frame and selected the text tool but haven’t searched for any components. Wouldn’t it make sense to render the search input immediately rather than waiting for some kind of API response?It’s massively frustrating, I hate the N for next frame shortcut anyway, but when I accidentally hit it when a text input should have been focused it’s a nightmare.The component search issue is by far the worst, but I run into issues where I think I have a text frame selected or a property input focused and end up hitting random shortcuts instead of typing multiple times per day. Please take a look at this, the ergonomics are pretty rough in this regard, especially when you’re trying to work quickly and the app doesn’t respond to shortcuts as expected.

I want plugin to glileo ai to export designs quickly to figma

To improve the culture of design systems, it would be great to prohibit certain components from being detached. Something like a checkbox in the component configuration.  

In Figma Buzz, there's an issue with exporting pages to PDF: the selected format doesn't apply to all pages. I select the desired pages, click "Export," then set the format to PDF in the right panel and click "Export" again. However, all pages are still saved as PNG files instead of PDF. Even if I manually change the format to PDF for the first or second page, the export still results in PNG files for all pages. The only way to get a multi-page PDF is to manually set the PDF format for each page individually. With many pages (e.g., 20), this is extremely time-consuming. It would be great if the selected format (like PDF) could automatically apply to all pages during export.

the type of connectors is not enough for creating an Entity Relationship Diagram. The One-to-One , One-to-Many and Many-to-Many connector heads should be added too.

It would be very helpful to be able to set all new files to be public/private by default instead of needing to go into every file and change that setting. Does anyone have any work arounds/automations/tips for doing this with a shortcut?

When sharing, I would love to be able to specify a specific slide to link to. This will allow more fine tune sharing. If the url was appended with something like “slide-1” it would allow for us to create dynamic and easily editable links in our Airtable as well. We are using slides as a creative review workflow and this would help us tremendously!

As a design system builder and engineer, I’ve noticed that Figma’s component documentation—specifically, the component “Description” field—is currently buried in the component configuration panel. This limits its visibility during handoff, onboarding, and day-to-day use.Opportunity for improvement:Just as engineering disciplines rely on disciplined nomenclature and readily available documentation for clarity and scalability, design systems need robust, frictionless access to component descriptions. Bringing these principles to Figma’s UX would benefit teams of all sizes—especially those treating design as an engineering problem.Suggestion:Give the Description field its own space in the right toolbar, separate from deep configuration. Allow toggling visibility (e.g., an “info” or “eye” icon). By surfacing this information naturally—similar to a tooltip—users can reference component context without extra clicks, boosting clarity and alignment.Benefits:Faster onboarding for new teammates

Individually clicking and resolving each comment is tedious. It would be useful to highlight multiple comments and use a right-click menu option to “bulk resolve.” This would save significant time.

Hey! So i found it a bit uncomfortable when i share page to some other department and then they get access to view all other pages. Would be great to give access to view only 1 page by link
