This should be a standard feature. Come on Figma team, this is an easy win for accessibility. Also it would be good to have shortcuts organized the way we prefer for our workflows. (For example, the P key is the Pen tool but the V key is the move tool; for my workflow I want them to be close to each other. My brain keeps wanting C to be the shortcut to tweak the bend in the vectors and it brings up Comments instead, which I only ever use at the very end.)
4 years and still nothing… lol
Your comment inspired me to look at the beginning of this thread, with only 660 votes. But below the initial comment, you can see that 46 other threads have been merged with this one, with a total number of votes exceeding 5,500. So there’s no way that Figma doesn’t know it’s a desired feature. Again, I just wish they would come out and say: “We will never do this, so stop asking.” Then we can all stop wasting our time on this. And stop hoping for a change that will never happen.
Or even better, of course, would be some official response saying they’re working on it and hoping to release it by Qx of 2025. Or whatever.
yes some of the shortcuts are extremely awkward to use or understand because they were designed for MacBook laptops instead of desktop or Windows system. Giving some freedom to diverse user is a great idea. Please add the user discretionary shortcuts. Figma is a much larger compony than 6 years ago and it’s important to realize they have various users operating on different systems/ keyboards.
