Hi There, consider Dev Mode in browsers.

Imagine how painful the endless right-to-left mouse work would be, if the element inspector was hard-left, with the CSS panel hard right…

Well, that’s Figma today

An outdated concept?

It seems Figma might be based on an outdated idea that if tools are spread around the work area, it’s more efficient.

But in reality, that’s not how it works because we use the grabber hand to position work next to the tools. So when the tools are all on one side, there’s never any need to move to the far left - drastically reducing the daily grind.

Reduce the daily grind

Please allow us to dock the left panel to the right, then dock the toolbar vertically next to it.

It takes a day to get used to, but if you work long days, you can’t go back because most of the time, you’re only moving the mouse across half the screen…

Here’s a Photoshop example…

And a Figma mockup…

Spare a though for all of us working long hours on large displays! 

Hope that all makes sense.
