LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

I also need this feature! Please prioritize this, I feel like its not a huge change.

This is not a full solution in my opinion. When you have to navigate inside of a very nested layout this will give you absolutely no overview where you are currently in the structure.

THIS! I can’t use my components with nested components properly because of the limit or more precisely the missing horizontal scrollbar…

It’s 2024 and I literally come back here from a bookmark I had to save in my main browser bookmark bar because I have to use it THAT often. Pretty unbelievable that this is still a problem…

I want to ask our amazing team of devs at Figma to finally free the width of the left panels.
It is reeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy annoying to have layers in nested comp which I don’t see.

We want a fully customizable left panel width, and we want it now 😉

Please Figma do something about that.

Scroll would be nice, but at the same time please add a fully customizable width for the panel! thx

Both together would be ideal.
