Copy properties does not work


Michael_Bostick

I am using Figma on Windows and the copy properties function does not do anything. I have tried CTRL+ALT+C and also selecting with right-click > copy properties and neither of them work. Nothing happens, it does not even paste without properties.

If you are using it for the very first time it seems the browser needs to approve the copy and pasting to it’s clipboard first by the Figma App.
So you might get a prompt from the browser - I did.
Then I closed and opened the design file again and it worked

Thanks loads. Disabling Spectacle worked for me as well. Apparently the same short key applies to both apps .

I discovered that for my situation it’s because I didn’t have edit permissions for the Figma file.
