Quickly go to last visited page and back

This is just a page browsing in sequential order.

This is good enough for me, till Figma brings it natively.

Yep keyboard shortcuts would be so much easier.

Right now the plugin needs to be open (and floating around somewhere) for it to track history.

Would be great if a plugin like this would be able to read the selection history inside the undo history tree and then just have a function called ‘Go to previous selection’ and just jump to the previous selection in the history each time it’s activated.

Much like @Gleb’s comment above (Quickly go to last visited page and back - #23 by Gleb).

If this function would have a application menu items in the main Figma > Plugins menu this would easily be activated with a keyboard shortcut and allow for super fast navigation.

This is only solving the issue inside of one file. Good enough for that cause, but it does not help me moving between files.

I am currently working in a large enterprise project where we easily have 100+ files (not pages!), since different concept teams for different parts of the product have their own spaces. Also there are several libraries.
Most of the times I have 20+ files open as tabs in Figma, which makes navigating back and forth between e.g. Libraries/concepts almost impossible, which is absolutely crucial in reviews and discussions.
The proposed spotify/Slack-like back button, also as shortcut would be an immense upgrade! Maybe regarding the shortcuts we would need to distinguish “page” and “file” back as well. But in most cases the back on top could be also an overarching “back” to the last view, be it file or element on a page.

This is really missing in Figma. Just as in all Websites catch the side mouse buttons for moving page forward/backward (just reinterpreted for pages since we don’t want to reload whole URLs).

Oh boy, how does history navigation not yet exist?? 😅

Please Figma, add a back/forward button so we can jump between pages quickly without trying to find the specific page each time in the page list.

I can’t recall how many times I’m in the middle of a design review… or just standard working on components between pages…and get completely lost. @Chere_De_Koh’s post certainly resonated! 😂 …

anyway, in closing… how is there no back button?!

This has just 118 votes. Since 2021. They will never implement it (maybe if they change the underlying tech someday). There are other missing features like no scrollbars in prototypes that really destroy usability tests with much more likes and even then they don’t care.

Or the mismatch between CSS border and Figma stroke (rendered as border in their css) that forces devs to act against w3 standard and use the box-shadow hack.

You need to push it in the social media, collect more likes etc. so it get’s more visibility. Maybe as a comment in LinkedIn on their little big updates or so.

I’ve noticed a few requests for this, but it really surprises me that more people are not upvoting it. I cannot express enough how annoying it is for me to click on Figma links from a Jira task and then get shifted out of the current design I’m working on, only to not be able to find my way back to it. As a UX manager, I am working on 100 different design files each day, conducting design reviews, answering questions, and triaging Jira design stories. Therefore, trying to remember each file/page location is total insanity. PLEASE add a back button. Thank you.

This is a MUST for complex projects with lots of pages. Please!!!
