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.

No, plugins can’t do this.

This is so simple and is really needed when I work on my 14" MBP! How has this not been implemented yet?

Sometimes, though, we might inherit a file that’s deeply nested – so horizontal scrolling would help us understand and reorder that file, if so desired.

This! Thank you
And even resizing the panel is often not enough since it has a max width.
They added a tooltip to at least be able to read the layer name, but that’s a poor fix compared to the simplicity of adding an horizontal scroll.

Dear Figma, this has been an issue since 2021 (or longer!)!.

Please fix this!

My workaround was to spend $1,000 on an ultra-wide gaming monitor. Now there’s TONS of room for that layers panel.

😦

I doubt their cross-platform webview framework allows it, but having detachable panels (like Adobe has) that can be dragged to other monitors would also address the issue for some users…
