Quickly go to last visited page and back

1. You’re in the flow, you’re working on some designs.
2. You realize you need something from another page in the Figma file.
3. You go find that thing.
4. Ugh, now you have to go find where you were on that other page with all the flows on it.

–OR, BETTER –

1. You’re working.
2. You go get something from another page.
3. You hit the back button and keep working.

I also miss this feature many time a day. Another use case: I noticed a comment added to the file I am working with. Following the comment brings me to another page. Coming back to the point I was working at takes some time.

Can’t believe this isn’t already baked-in in figma… Has anyone found a plugin to do this?

Please add your comment and vote for this one:

YES. FIGMA. DO THIS.

There should be a Back button in the View as well as a keyboard shortcut for it, like IDE’s (such as IntelliJ) — I believe it’s Cmd+Shift+[ (as just an example).

For reference, AutoCad did this in 1997. There was a keyboard shortcut to return to your previous zoom. It was amazing, and I’ve wanted it in every design application I’ve used since. In Figma want a way to quickly go back, not just to the page I just came from, but to the exact zoom I was on when I left it. My primary use case is when I view a master component that’s stored on the same page. I know that might seem messy to some to not have all components on a Components page-- but I’ll make detailed components in a status matrix, which are more like page documentation than typical components. So when I view a master component that’s on the same page, my only way back to where I came from is to zoom way out and zoom back in to where I’d been. It’s a lot of cognitive overhead to make my way back to where I came from.

How is this super simple feature not a thing yet, this would save so much time

Arc does tab switching in a great way in my opinion. You just hit Ctrl+tab and can switch between the five latest tabs you had open:)

I’ve been using Figma for years and this is my number one complaint…comes up on a daily basis. So much cognitive load to keep looking for the page that I’m flipping back and forth between. Slack is a great example - simple shortcut to navigate back and forth through your page history.

Does this, thanks Thor!

But I’d much rather be able to use a keyboard shortcut ⌘+[, ⌘+] for example.
