Today you can hold the space bar down and drag to pan around the canvas in Figma and FigJam. There’s a plugin called Keyboard Scrolling by Tiffany Chen that added the ability to move around the canvas using a keyboard.

What if we extended the keyboard shortcut of the spacebar to also support Space + Arrow Keys to move around the canvas? As noted in their plugin, this would be in support of accessibility to make it possible to navigate a canvas with keyboard only.

@Kamppari-Miller_Saara True, this is a much needed feature.
