Option to hide the right panel

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?

hah just seen this now and might as well reply 😛 this is about hiding only the right panel not all the UI.

My reply was not to your original topic but to the comment in it.

Where is this? On your screenshot, I can’t see from where you opened this dropdown.

Right click on empty canvas.

oh yeah that would be neat!
Maybe even going a step further, showing it only as long as I hold down a button. So I could quickly make some adjustments, then let go again. Especially useful on smaller screens

I’m definitely all for this exact solution. Being able to hide the UI as a whole or the left sidebar are both nice, but not a solution to this specific ask.

Yes, right only! I don’t work with the properties often (PM), but I swap between pages and click into layers often. The right panel is so wide and makes it a very small window to view when I need to split screen to do something in my PM tool while looking at Figma.

Exactly what I needed. Couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working, but then found 1Password defaults this to its autofill. Turned changed this in 1Password and it works now. So if you try this and it doesn’t work - the shortcut might have gotten taken by a different program. 😉

Nearly three years later, and this still needs to be implemented? Like many of you, I’m sure, I design my components and then assemble them into layouts. At this point, I rarely need to touch the Properties panel, so I would love the option to hide it.
