Interactive text inputs in prototype mode

Thanks @Mustafa_Ahmed1

Figma really needs to add this feature asap.

I posted a request about this 2 years ago. Still not a thing?

That would be a great feature for prototyping and usability testing

Hey Max, thanks for the solution. I have the same problem, but how you add and create the new variable to avoid crashing all inputs simultaneously is a little confusing for me. Can you share your Figma file to get into? 🙏

Figma has been around for awhile now and doesn’t have this yet?!

Here’s a plugin that makes text into input fields with placeholders.

You can also connect what you typed in the input field to a different output field.

Considering how often a text field is used in prototypes to simulate typing, why not make ANY text field automatically typeable?

I’ve used a workaround that involves mapping all characters to a Key interactions but the limitation is we can use delete or space (because Space is used for Figma prototyping functions)

So yea. True input text fields!

Hi @Johnny_Ceron, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! I noticed that there was a similar request from other community members. To help centralize the feedback and enhance the discussion, I’ve merged your post here.
Please take a moment to vote up from the top of this page.

Thank you for your contribution!

As product designer, I use a lot of prototypes that should simulate the user typing (Inputs, Docs, forms etc.) it would be amazing to have the ability to simulate the writing of text as a text animation in prototypes, like the typewriter animation in keynote (maybe even with an option to add a typing cursor)

Please Figma, help us with this! its BASIC! you can do it
