Just wanted to highlight, using keyboard shortcuts for aligning two ore more layers isn’t working as expected.
With 2 or more layers selected, (Cmd + Ctrl + arrow keys) shortcuts aligns and then resizes the layer in that direction. Basically (Cmd + arrow keys) shortcut is firing in addition to the alignment shortcut.

Can confirm this on PC as well. You should report it as a bug: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041468234-Submit-a-bug-report
@Harshit_Rana, thanks for confirming I’m not going crazy!
Coming from Sketch and XD, I’ve been using ⌃ + ⌘ + arrow keys for alignment and thought they worked fine in Figma. I only recently noticed that text would wrap when I did (due to the width adjustment).
So now I’m wondering how many past designs did I align non-text objects and didn’t realize I probably shrunk them by one pixel! 
It’s also interesting that those shortcuts are nowhere in Figma’s documentation. They only show ⌥ + A, W, S, or D for alignment.
I think Figma should either:
- Update these shortcuts to not pass in the ⌘ + arrow key press so it doesn’t also resize the items
…or… - Don’t support the shortcut at all; do nothing if someone presses ⌃ + ⌘ + arrow key
I like the first option better, but I can live with the second since I can just remap it in Keyboard Maestro.
