I would like to lock group access so I can not select inside.
Only up to that group.
What will help me a lot when I moving groups around. I could just use CTRL + Click and quickly select group with all the elements we need.
Hey there - thanks for your feedback!
“I would like to lock group access so I can not select inside.” : Just for your information, you can lock group access by following these steps:
- Hover over the layer in the Layers Panel until the
appears. - Click the padlock to lock the layer. Figma will close the
padlock next to the layer in the Layers Panel. - If this is a frame or group, then any children of that frame/group will also be locked.
- You will no longer be able to edit the layer in the canvas.
- Click the
padlock again to unlock the layer.
Wow, really quick feedback. Thanks, @Celine_Figma
Locking isn’t the issue. I probably explained it incorrectly since the only term I have is “lock.” Locking also removes your ability to move elements, which is not what I’m looking for.
What I would like is the ability to limit how deep I can click so that I can only select groups with CTRL + Click, and not the elements inside them. This would allow me to quickly select groups and move them around. Otherwise, I have to CTRL + Click and then navigate through the layers in the Finder to move up until I find the right group that I need to drag.
This feature would be awesome as it would allow us to lock selections by components only and quickly drag components around and inside other groups.
I hope this clarifies it.
Best,
Marko
