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.

(If you’re using Figma on the web, you can use TamperMonkey or similar to automatically run this code on every figma.com page. If, like me, you use the desktop app, you unfortunately will not have that luxury).

The specific issue that brought me here is that the values of my variant properties are cut off when displayed in a dropdown.

It would be nice to have these couple of features added:

  1. Horizontal Scroll in layers panel: When there are a lot of nested layers, it becomes tedious and impossible to hide/unhide them.
  2. Bulk Hiding/Unhiding layers: Allowing a user to select multiple layers to hide or unhide them all at once.

  1. This feature already exists. Select layers and show/hide them using:
    A. Ctrl + Shift + H;
    B. Right-click and select Show/Hide from the context menu;
    C. Main menu › Object › Show/Hide selection;
    D. Write “Show/Hide selection” in Quick Actions.

Dear community,
the width of the sidebar is fix and the names of the styles are therefore truncated.
How can I display the whole level?

Thank you!!

It is currently not possible to change the width of the right panel. So feel free to leave feedback and vote for this opportunity here: https://forum.figma.com/t/ability-to-expand-right-workspace-panel/4325.

As a developer I would like to be able to make the right sidebar bigger so that I can read the styles of a view without having to hover over it and wait. A lot of time is wasted,

Issue: too many child frames leads to incomplete frame name in the frame branch panel on the left side. Resizing the panel isn’t an accessible way to solve it.


Suggestion: it’s easy to handle it that adding a horizontal scroll bar in the panel.
