Temporarily hiding selection outlines

It is not possible but it sounds like a good suggestion, so I’d recommend you to edit this topic, turn it into a suggestion instead of a question, and move it to #product-ideas category.

Also you can always press Esc to deselect everything, then Cmd/Ctrl + Z to undo deselection.

Done.

Yep, that’s what I have to do. But it breaks flow state. The subtle, yet magical effect of simply pressing a key down, is that it’s so simple & easy to do, you stay in that flow state as you switch options while designing, which speeds up your design evaluation process by an order of magnitude. Once you experience it, you’re kind of hooked on it 🙂

Maybe other designers here who know what I’m talking about can share their perspective on this, but for me it’s a huge speed boost to be able to do this.

Also, I should add, it should be easy to implement. Huge bang for the buck.

+1 to this. ESC doesn’t do the trick because then you can’t manipulate the selection.

+1000000 to this!
This is by far the biggest design update I would like to see. Enabling hiding selection lines with a good shortcut would turn Figma into a powerhouse. I completely agree with the magical flow. It suffers without it.

Voted! It could be “h” key. Does anybody uses “h” for hand tool?

Hi Gleb
Sorry, a bit of but how can this be done?
I was trying in one of mine and don’t see how.
The advised one is Share Feedback and the tags don’t allow to put anything.
Thanks
By the way, the one I mention is a bit related o this, so, who wants to take a peek…

This topic is already in the correct category. Product Ideas were renamed to Share Feedback.
