When you use the pen tool to draw a vector image, normally when you use the bend option, it's automatically set to ‘Mirror Angle.’ But then I mostly have to manually change it to ‘No Mirroring’ since that helps more with the accuracy of the edges of the images I want to create. But when I have really big images, it gets tiring having to always change the settings to ‘No Mirroring’ for every single point. Isn’t there a way to automatically leave the settings on the last option selected instead of it always being set to ‘Mirror Angle’? Or is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

In Figma’s current setup, the Bend tool’s mirroring defaults to “Mirror Angle” every time a new point is added, which can slow down work on large vector images. Unfortunately, there's no built-in shortcut or global setting to preserve the “No Mirroring” preference. However, many designers get around this by duplicating existing segments with the desired settings, which can speed things up slightly. For better workflow, you can also submit or upvote a feature request in the Figma forum to support sticky preferences—a change many users would welcome.
