Suggest a Feature

If I have nothing selected (2 things needed) - then CTRL+S is saving.If I have two things selected - CTRL+S creates a section. Who got this “great” idea to take a really important saving shortcut and make it two features?And, even if it’s bad and it stays, why doesn’t it create a section from 1 thing selected? WHY? What is the train of thought of people who work on features of this software? WTF?You either ruin things or destroy STANDARDS.

While I appreciate Figma supporting natively spell check, it’s mainly for the English US.I am working inside UK area and I need spell check to work for English UK more.I hope this is something devs can look at it and possibly it can be easy to implement update inside the app. 

I want to open the figma file URL directly within the Figma desktop app. Suggestion: when clicking on the new tab in the desktop app, I can add the URL in the search bar to directly open the file within desktop app. Problem: It’s frustrating to open the copied figma file URL in browser then wait for it to open the app. 

When picking colors I’m always working in the HSL color system. When I want to change a color it makes so much more sense for me to be able to adjust the hue, saturation, or/and lightness rather than thinking about how edits to RGB might work, or trying to mentally decode hex values. Often I’ll want a color of a similar saturation & brightness but a different hue. Or a color of the same hue & saturation but different brightness. But in the Figma UI it defaults to showing hex values in the sidebar (or a color style name where the values are completely hidden unless I drill down): Hex values can be useful for developers (although lately we’ve just been using HSL in our CSS), but is not very useful to me when designing except for the rare case when I’m copy/pasting a hex value from somewhere else. It’s certainly not the primary way I want to see / work with colors. I’d love it if that display of HEX values in the UI was instead HSL. And secondarily, I’d love it if when a color s

I would like an option to differentiate a comment vs a question so when I am sharing designs with clients, I know where are the key questions to focus on vs general comments by myself or other users.

Hi, I am currently testing the new Figma-UI3. First of all, thank you for all of your amazing work! Unfortunately there is not shown a branch status (e.g. “In-review”, “Merged”, etc.) anymore. I would recommend displaying the status of a branch in Figma-UI3 like it was previously in UI2 (see below). Cheers, Clemens

Disclaimer: I’m a laptop user (16" macbook) and everything below is related to using the app on a small screen. Here’s the thing: Figma has auto-layout, complex components and variables which allow us to make complex designs, right? And objects on canvas can easily have million layers inside. Now, layers panel is… “underthought” I’d say. Because it’s not actually made for anything complex. It has huge paddings and no horizontal scroll which makes me resize the panel to almost half-screen width to see all my layers. And resize it back because I also need to see my canvas. Here’s my suggestion: Smaller paddings. Horizontal scroll in layers.

Hi Figma Team! 👋I have a few ideas that could improve Figma and make it even more versatile:1️⃣ Add a new Instagram post frame – Currently, Figma includes the standard 1080×1080 size, but another widely used format is 1080×1350 (portrait format). It would be great to have this as a preset option.2️⃣ Allow users to create custom frames – Sometimes, I need to create frames with specific dimensions, such as an A4 300 DPI frame for print. Having the ability to set custom resolutions and other parameters would be very useful and safe for next time use3️⃣ Improve optimization for printing – Enhancing rendering and print preparation would help maintain high quality and ensure colors are print-friendly.I’d love to see these features in Figma! Thanks for all your great work 💙

I would very much like a feature to maintain the same width of items in an Autolayout with wrap - even when they are dynamic using “Filled” Ex. i have 3 items in autolayout with wrap on. Width is set to Filled Max width for items are 200 Min width for items are 100 My autolayout width is 300 = all items are on the same row I change autolayout width to 200 = items in 1st row are now 100px wide, Item 3 is pushed to a new row, but stays 100px wide

This may be a dumb question… I uploaded an avatar to my account to replace the default first name initial avatar. However after a few days, I want to reset the avatar to the initial version rather than the image based one I uploaded. But it seems like there’s no way to do through the Account settings. Pressing on the avatar itself or “Edit” will simply prompt for a new image. Can anyone confirm this is the case?

While our teams and the amount of projects grow, it becomes harder to find and identify the right files on the search page. I would like to suggest to include the team name and project name in the meta data of the search results. Similar to a bread crumb in google search results.

I frequently have components that have either been orphaned or that I’ve inherited from other designers that contain empty interactions (for example, a click trigger that is set to “None”).Then, I will come along and try to create a new interaction by drawing a prototype arrow between frames, and it defaults to “On drag” which completely screws me up, causing me to have to troubleshoot why the interaction I created is not working. Almost invariably, I’ll have to delete this orphaned click interaction and fix my new interaction.As far as my experience, this is unwanted and wasteful behavior. It would be much more intuitive to simply overwrite empty click interactions when I draw a new arrow. This should be the workflow with any type of interaction (click, drag, hover, etc.). If I create a new interaction, it should replace an empty one of the same type.

Currently it’s not possible to dynamically set or assign mode variables to a frame or a document. This would be incredibly helpful when it comes to user settings, like change a theme or language, for example. When prototyping, dynamically setting a mode variable like systemTheme or systemLanguage could then be done through user interactions like clicking a button, to simulate many real-life use cases.

I was looking at library analytics and could not understand why there were no statistics for some components. Then, having searched for an answer on Google, I opened up the library’s publications folder and only then did I realize that there were errors in properties of these components. 👆In the screenshot, the broken components look like normal components It seems to me possible to display these errors directly in the analytics or, at least, highlight them more clearly in the publications window.

The ability to view analytics for color and text styles, the same way you can for components. So being able to see how many usages there are for a given style, and then drill into a style to see all the files that it’s referenced from. This would be super helpful for my team as the number of styles always seems to grow but never shrink. So being able to see which ones are rarely or never used, would help us in identifying which to delete.

Hello, I am working on a Design System and now I am adopting the interactive components. They look promising, but there is one feature that is missing. I was so excited and started adding interactions to all the bread and butter controls - buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, switches, lists…etc., but then I figured out that usually, the prototypes are representing a few use-cases and not all controls are clickable. So I was wondering whether there is a plan to add a switch on the component level that enables or disables the interactiveness.

I want to know if it’s possible for me (as the owner) to set up something so all the viewers on a FigJam cannot see other viewers. So everybody on the jam thinks that they are alone on the file Thanks ! 🙂

I wish that there was a place to add annotations in the property panel, whenever the parent and child frames have the same size, it will be difficult for me to select the parent frame because the child frame takes up all the space, so that I have to select it in Layer panel and click “Add annotation”

Most times, I want to know what’s in the figma file or I am just exploring and want to see a file, all of that gets added to recents because in doing that, it opens the file. Now, my recents gets so cluttered because of all these.That’s when I remembered what happens to Community files.This preview gives a sneak peak of what’s inside, just how it would if you opened the file. I think when you are part of org or have a lot of figma files relating to similar things, this helps in reducing the load to think what was in that file or to reduce accidentally opening a wrong figma file. Would be great if a preview option is also available for all the files as well :)

Hi, is there a way to copy the properties of a shape in FigJam and paste it onto another shape like we do in Figma but I have not found a way to do in FigJam or maybe there is a plugin out there that can do that? 

I want to add a youtube video inside my presentation, or add a link inside the presentation which people or myself could click

Hello Figma Team, Please add “Number” Variable function for Ellipse Sweep Property, It will so much of helpful to create Pie diagram for prototypes,

Following are a few things I found myself wishing for as I learned and used Figma Slides recently (it’s totally possible that you CAN do some of these things, and I just wasn’t able to find guidance on them on the interwebs, but I think I was pretty thorough in my search): Speaker notes section would benefit greatly from some not-too-major feature add-ons, like the ability to:Add comments/editing suggestions—When collaborating to build a presentation deck, our team wanted to give feedback/make suggestions as we built out the notes, but we had to find workarounds in order to do this. The ability to comment inside the speaker notes section would be hugely helpful. Better yet, having some baseline suggesting/editing capabilities similar to MS Word would be amazing. Use various text sizes and styling—to help build out headers, subheads, bullet/number lists, and to create emphasis (e.g. bold, italic, etc.) List styling—bullets, numbers, including indent levels to create hierarchy Add color

Now that we have the ability to make multiple pages in Figjam, I’m finding the need to consolidate some existing Figjams to create centralized files for particular projects or topics. As I move existing boards into the main file I’m creating, I’m unable to also move comments that are in the original files, and it’s 100% important to retain those with their corresponding layouts. For example, I had a board that was for a discovery phase, and there were many team comments added to it as we were learning and sharing info. I wanted to combine it with the board where we were now in the ideation phase so everything for this project would be contained in a single file, but I had to screenshot the comments from the discovery file and add them to the new file as images directly on the board, or drop them as images into new comment bubbles in the new file.Please make them portable between files in the future!

Hey everyone,I work extensively with Figma prototypes, and one functionality I feel is really missing is onScroll.the ability to trigger interactions based on scroll events (similar to scroll animations or parallax effects available in other tools).Does anyone know if Figma plans to add this feature in the near future?If not, are there any smart workarounds to achieve scroll-based animations within Figma itself without relying on external tools?Would love to hear your thoughts!Thanks!
