LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

I have also faced the same issue!

yes plz add this feature

Legend! A++

Now if this can only be implemented by Figma as a setting.
Or could this be done with a plugin + hotkey combo to run this script?

I second this! I reached a point where some of my components are nested to the point where I cant read what it is, and not having a horizontal scrollbar makes it hard to see it. The expander for the whole left panel only goes so far, and I apparently reached the point where i have too many layers and drilling down with the expander to its max horizontal width still wont show my component names. Sharing screenshot.

It would already help to not limit the resizing of the left panel to 500px. It’s such a small change that would lead to less frustration.

Unfortuanetly not, as Figma Plugins have no way to change Figma’s UI. And my solution is already super hacky. We need to make more people aware of this problem so Figma prioritzes this problem even higher.

I’ve updated my script. You can find the new version in my original post (userscript is updated too!). The new version fixes some visual bugs, also removed horizontal scrolling activation, due to more investigation is needed.

Ow I really need horizontal scrolling, now more than ever. In the applications we design we have a lot of nested components and a lot of tables like designs. So that means a lot of nested layers to open to find and see that I have the right layer selected and to see how the layers are structured. In some cases, I can’t expend the layer panel any wider and can see all the layers. So you know… I can’t really see what is going on… That is not relaxed. Drives me nuts.

Hierarchies get deep and dragging to increase the width of the sidebar is inconvenient.

Please fix it as soon as possible.
