Keyboard shortcuts for union, subtract, intersect, exclude selection

I love using Figma with my Stream Deck!

I’ve created every shortcut I can on it, but there are a few that are missing in the UI. The most obvious for me are the union, subtract, intersect, and exclude selection buttons. I saw that Figma is releasing their own Figma Creator Micro Keyboard which excited me that the Keyboard Shortcuts might be further expanded. Fingers are crossed!

Hey there,

The video tutorial is helpful to understand how to use it. Can you take a look?

I hope it helps!

Unfortunately the new UI makes it even harder to use boolean operations. A keyboard shortcut to perform actions such as “union selection” would GREATLY improve our workflow.

I agree with everyone here. Since my first days using Figma, I wished for a keyboard shortcut to do booleans operations. I thought the new UI would add that, but apparently it didn’t, and made it even one more click away. Is this an explicit design choice to exempt boolean operations from keyboard shortcuts? Or is this just a missing feature?
