Hey, could you Export/Share you List? Greez Jens
Soooo 6 years after launch, and 429 votes later, no custom shortcuts?
Massive oversight, massive disappointment.
Many FIGMAs do not have preset shortcuts, but they are very high -frequency operations for me, and more mouse operations are cumbersome. E.g:
apply boolean property
Seriously guys, get your act together and make the customizable shortcuts a priority. Figma is wonderful, but without the shortcuts it cannot count to be a professional app.
Yep, why Figma still have no Customizable shortcuts? I’m use this app a one year, but still cant use any shortcut. Because it’s extremely inconvenient.
There is a learning curve or just a bit of time and repetition required to master Figma’s keyboard shortcuts. The best place to start is the Help Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts (Control + Shift + ?):
This will show you which shortcuts you have already used and which ones you have yet to discover.
Beyond that, I use Keyboard Maestro (KM) to make Figma (and all other apps) do what I want via Keyboard. As a benefit, the KM shortcuts sync to all of my other Macs, so I don’t have to update System preferences on multiple Macs, or when I get a new Mac. KM does a ton of other useful things, such as scripted automations, but I primarily use it for shortcuts because I got tired of having to redo System Preferences in macOS.
In this screenshot, you can see my Figma shortcuts for the boolean shape options:
Thanks! That’s super helpful.
I never knew the Figma keyboard shortcuts window would display used shortcuts in blue. That’s quite a nifty feature.
Thanks for your suggestion on Keyboard Maestro. I’ve been doing something similar with Better Touch Tool for a while now, which allows me to override any shortcuts that can’t be set through the macOS System Preferences settings.
I guess both apps are pretty similar, but haven’t tried Keyboard Maestro as I’m now invested in BTT and it works for me.
Thanks for this Rubem.
And it looks like Figma changed the show/hide keyboard shortcut with the latest release. Would be nice to be able to change it back.
+1, really need to be able to customize keyboard shortcuts. Shift+0 for zoom to 100%? can’t do that with one hand. I want to be able to change them to whatever I need so I can make it more ergonomic.
im also wondering, how is this not a priority to fix? usability 101
Please allow custom shortcuts. We designers use more graphic software in the same time, especialy in Adobe with some different shortcuts and we are used to them for decades…
I´d welcome “Tab” for hiding panels e.g. which is much faster.
I think it wouldn’t be hard to make it work…?
I suppose shortcuts conflicts can be bad but if there is a “go to” conflict and a “change” or “cancel” option, it doesn’t seem too terrible.
Would love to see it implemented.
I’d like to be able to map the command palette to Shift Command P, similar to Sublime Text. I never use the pixel preview, so the shortcut currently in that spot is of no use to me and I’m constantly accidentally activating it.
Please keep up with that
Swiss DE Keyboard doesn’t really work with some of the shortcuts.
Keyboard shortcuts are not all working on German Standard Keyboard!
The symbol is already on the keyboard (not the same place of the English keyboard) so i can press the buttons but the shortcut is not functioning.
This is really annoying in Figma, and now it is the same at FigJam!
I made a list of these shortcuts:
Show/Hide UI: Ctrl +
Multiplayer Cursors: Ctrl + Alt +
Previous Page: Page Up
Next Page: Page Down
Adjust Font Size: Ctrl + Shift + < and >
Adjust Font Weight Ctrl + Alt + < and >
Adjust Letter Spacing Alt + < and >
Adjust Letter Height Shift + Alt + < and >
Remove Fill Alt + /
Bring Forward Ctrl + ]
Send Backward Ctrl + [
Bring to Front Ctrl + Shift + ]
Send to Back Ctrl + Shift + [
I hope this will help you fix it.
Same here (french keyboard )
+1, please add german and other language keyboard layouts.
+1, creating custom shortcuts is not an acceptable workaround
