Component and variant shortcuts


eruveo

I’ve been using variants a lot and for huge numbers of components, it’s amazingly time-consuming. Plugins help but having a keyboard shortcut for “Combine as variants” and “Create multiple components” would help tremendously.

Idally, everything would be possible to bind to a custom shortcut.

I am proposing the following shortcuts:

  • Create component ⌥⌘K
  • Create multiple components ⌥⇧⌘K
  • Create component set ⌃⌥⌘K
  • Combine as variants ⌥⌘V

Hey Figma, it is time to make this possible. Especially when you are realising the Creator Micro. I have the Creator Micro from Work Louder, and I want to assign that to a key.

Could not agree more. Using the Creator Micro and would be great to assign a shortcut to a single key

Agreed. Makes for much better productivity with as many keyboard shortcuts as possible, including this one. I’ve as many shortcuts as possible assigned to my stream deck and things get done much faster. Please make this happen Figma.

Its sucks so hard without the “create multiple components” shortcut, please make it happen <3

My solution was to save this plugin and then assign a shortcut on my Mac (or CustomShortcuts) via “Plugins->Saved Plugins->Batch Create Component” with ⌥⇧⌘K

It is important to save the plugin first so it doesn’t disappear if Figma updates or use other plugins for a while. 

 

Hope it will help some of you.
