Quickly go to last visited page and back

Clicking between two pages is inconvenient – there should be a hotkey for that.

Context — I have components in Page A and need to see the changes I make on Page B. I make lots and lots of small iterations to my design and want to swap between Page A and B quickly to see results.

Solution — A back and forward button (or hotkey) that let’s you jump between pages you’ve last visited and forward again.

    +1 i need a way to go to the last page i was looking at - even if the file has 15 pages and the two pages aren’t next to each other. ā€œwhere was i just lookingā€ … this would be such a time saver.Ā

    +1 I keep searching for this over and over, hoping it’d be implemented

    Really strange that such a convenient navigation shortcut is still not available. I need it all the time when working with a design system or another multi-page file.

    I can make a plugin - where you will be able to store: Page + Canvas Position (zoom and pan level)Ā 
    will that work??Ā 

    Unfortunately Figma won’t allow me keyboard access - that blocks adding hotkey feature UX

    Open to know thoughts on thisĀ

    Not sure that opening a plugin for navigation, without a keyboard shortcut, will be faster than clicking the pages in the list šŸ˜

    It’s been 4 years and still not solved? We need a proper ā€œGo Backā€ button on desktop app,Ā not just to return from a component instance to the main component, but to the previous file or page. We often navigate between linked components, and being able to go back quickly is essential for a smooth workflow. Manually tracing where we came from is painful, time-consuming, and mentally exhausting.

    Yes, please! A simple BACK and FORTHĀ  button at the top of the left panel. Going back to an instance or a main component works, but sometimes I just need to go back to a different page for information, not a component.
