Toggle Show/Hide UI not working on Windows since Ctrl + \ can not be pressed

I can’t do it.

Oh I thought you could pass it to the team, no problem

Valeu Pedrão!

For nordic (at least danish) it is ctrl + ½

With a Latin American keyboard, I type Ctrl + | (the symbol left, next to the 1) for toggle figma UI

ça ne marche pas pour moi les gars, pourtant j’ai un clavier 100% français…
C’est bien cmd + accent grave ? la touche où il y a le signe £ ?

Fgima show/hide on a Hungarian keyboard is CTRL + Ű

It seems the shortcut has changed, it’s @ now.
If you want to see the key mapping according to your keyboard type, go to the “layout” panel of keyboard shortcuts: [Select keyboard layout – Figma Help Center] https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/5665442977431-Select-keyboard-layout

For me, show/hide UI shortcut is key “²” at left of the 1 (french Azerty on Windows)

I love you for this hint! Thx! <3

thank you so much. I was struggling to find this out. :smiley:

I have a similar issue on a US keyboard on windows.
There are three “/” keys on the keyboard,
on The “Q”, above the Numpad, and next to right Shift key.

The problem is the Ctrl+/ (on the “Q”) quits Figma
the other two “/” are opening a search box, so If I hide the UI through the menu,
I can’t get it back unless I quit Figma and open again.

It used to be another key, I think in the past it was Ctrl+. or Ctrl+, and it worked
but now I don’t have a shortcut anymore to hide show UI and it’s really hindering my work…

wowwwwwwwww thank you sooooo much!

In my case it was conflicting with 1Password ctrl + \ shortcut.

Environment: Windows 11, Figma desktop app, US layout keyboard

I had some issue with my french azerty keyboard with the “@” key to hide/show UI.
Just figure it out that you have to press “²” and it works perfectly
De rien :slight_smile:

It worked for me to change the keyboard layout to “generic”. To do that: first go to the “?” symbol to the bottom right of the screen; in the menu select “change keyboard layout”; in the keyboard panel that appears select “generic” from the small menu on the left. Done.

For the german folks who have this problem:
In Figma it says that you should press ^ but you actually need to press this “<” key
