  1. I’m missing the list view we have in UI2 - I usually go by the component name which is now almost unreadable when you have all your components ordered by folders and sub-folders. We have many components that look very similar in a small thumbnails, and the grid view makes it harder to know what to insert.

  2. Insert menu - 2 different sizes - There’s a difference between clicking the Actions menu vs using the keyboard shortcut for inserting components, each opens in a different size, and both makes it even harder with the unreadable component names

  3. The component menu doesn’t close after dragging/inserting a component to your canvas. You have to click 2-3 times outside the menu for it close and even then it has some delay, it makes for a really frustrating rage click. I’m finding myself just click Esc or clicking too many times just so I can get back to work.


Frame 1

Hey @Elad_Rahmin, thanks for your detailed feedback! We’ll pass this along to our team for consideration. 🙂

+1: I cannot describe how much I would LOVE the List view feature as @Elad_Rahmin describes here. Almost every time I interact with the ‘Insert’ overlay, I wonder why it doesn’t exist. The UI pattern already in use for Figma file/folder views (ability to toggle grid vs. list mode) seems like it would work perfectly well here.


For additional context: I create lots of local components for prototypes, with long names – many of which are similar – that match specific reference tables in a companion Google Sheet. So when I go to insert a component instance, I’m often looking at an overlay like this (see attached image). What Figma offers me here is 80% useless. If I need to choose between the middle 2 components, it’s 100% useless. Please implement a List mode – or at LEAST tooltip text on the thumbnails or something – so that I can see the component name in its entirety! Thank you 😃
