Figma currently offers a keyboard shortcut to hide the layers panel (CMD + SHIFT + \ ) or all UI (CMD + \ ) but no keyboard support to just hide the right panel (Design, Prototype, Inspect)

For me the layers panel can often be more important to retain than the right panel.

Anyone else want this feature?

We used to be able to hide only the left panel. Why would you remove that.


Hey @Preston,


The team decided to pull it in favor of minimizing the UI, which is similar in that it hides the left panel while still giving you access to properties when an object is selected.


In UI3, if you’ve minimized your UI, you just need to select something on your canvas to make the right panel appear again. The left panel will remain hidden.
