A feature idea: "Spotlight My Pin." When navigating large Figma files, I often lose track of the area I was comparing. It would be great to right-click anywhere on the canvas and drop a temporary pin to save the current viewport, then instantly jump back to it later. This would be much faster than searching for frame names or manually navigating back across the canvas.

I really like this idea. I often find myself zooming around large Figma files to compare different sections, and it's surprisingly easy to lose the exact spot I came from. A temporary pin would remove that friction and make comparisons much faster.

I also mocked up how this could fit into the existing UI. A simple Pinned frames section in the Design sidebar could list temporary pins that you can click to instantly jump back to. It feels like a lightweight solution that doesn't add much complexity while saving a lot of time when navigating large files.
