Right Click and Double Click triggers for prototypes

Our app has right click options but are limited to one click only with Figma.

Would anyone else be interested in having right vs left click options for prototyping?

Yes, not having these triggers limits the possibilities. Please add both right click, double click as well as the option to show an overlay at pointer position; e.g. for dynamic tooltips this would be handy.

Hi, for prototyping tool it is a must-have and really useful feature.

Also following and advocating for figma right click and double click!!

Agree — Figma isn’t as well suited to prototyping traditional WIMP (mouse/pointer) vs touch-based apps.

Obviously a lot of people design/prototype web-apps, so right, and to a lesser extent double, click actions are pretty relevant.

More fundamentally it could be easier to prototype UIs that involve interacting with an element that effects a change in other areas of the UI.

New to Figma, but this was surprising to find out that right clicking and double clicks couldn’t be done as an interaction.

From a quick search there aren’t any other threads or workarounds to do this.

This would be a great feature to implement.

I just found a need for this too. In fact, I’d love to have support for:

  • an explicit right-click
  • cmd+click
  • multi-key commands/shortcuts

Same here. I work on software and always have a need for this. Keep having to switch to Axure when a concept relies on context menu.

Another day, another Figma prototyping limitation I run in to. ☹ Figma, you’re so close to making Axure, ProtoPie, Framer, etc. obsolete! I don’t want to learn a new tool and deal with the hassle of migrating all my files just to make better prototypes!

As of now, Figma interactions are not fit for user testing. Right-click, double click, easy addition of tooltips would be helpful…
I guess figma interactions are only useful for presentations within the development team…

Still keeping an eye on this and hopes in my heart that these will become available. 😃
