All the time, I am zoomed out, select an item, and have to painstainkingly pan and zoom until it becomes large enough.
The idea is simple, and is standard in most creative design tools already:
This should be default Figma behavior, but if there is a plugin for this, please let me know. Thanks!
Plugins cannot do that but there is a setting for this:
Also I would highly encourage you to learn other zoom shortcuts, I don’t use this setting because I use other shortcuts (you can open this panel with Ctrl + Shift + ?):
Shift + 2 zooms the selected object or frame to fit to screen and it is centered when it zooms.
@SLT-UXD-BC Are you asking for something different than what the shortcut key - Shift + 2 does?
@Christian thank you, and nope, I was asking for the preference @Gleb pointed out. It should be turned on by default imo.
Looks like Figma has an excellent set of keyboard shortcuts when it comes to zooming. Smart zooming - CHECK!
Sorry for being a newbie =)
Thank you @Gleb ! That’s exactly the behavior I was expecting out of the box. Glad it exists!
@SLT-UXD-BC no need to apologize, we all have to learn from each other. I am glad you found what you were looking for. @Gleb is the master!
