Variables and text alignment properties?

Linking modes to breakpoints and being able to adjust on the fly is a real game changer. The thing that I’m missing tho, after typography support was recently added, is the ability to also use variables on the alignment settings of typography. Is this something that is being considered?

Smart animate on conditional click interactions

When adding a conditional on click interaction in Figma, the boolean only switches the variable on/off and there is no option to smart animate the boolean variable.

Allow for “Open Overlay” interactions within Shared Libraries

We have a navigation bar component in our shared library. We want the basic dropdowns and user profile info to overlay when clicking these menu items. Currently all overlays break when bringing in a component, and we have to make a local version of the library component. It would be great if the overlay from the library can work wherever it exists, rather than having to duplicate the overlays in every location.

Add the ability to wrap text around objects

There’s currently no way to wrap text around an object like an icon, spot illustration, or image. The only solution is to manually break the copy into 2 text boxes and add the second one underneath the icon. We had big plans for our design system to include scaled variants of components where text would need to wrap around icons and spot illustrations to save screen space. So not having this feature makes it hard to design for accessibility and see how components will scale. It’s a little tricky to get the line height right, and also means we can’t easily add scaled variants to our existing design system library. It’s also stopping us from creating a plugin where designers could stress test their designs with larger accessible fonts. Would be great if Figma could add this as a feature. Has anyone else had this issue? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Correct way to find out which component belongs which library

In my Figma design file, I have used multiple libraries. Is there any plug-in or which is better way to identify used component belongs to which library? Best, Pankaj

Fully Editable Object (Frame) Inside a Component Instance

Different than having a fully editable component instance, I would really like if there was a new object type (or maybe the frame object could be extended) so that it could serve as a fully editable space within a component. So basically when I use an instance of that component, I can populate this editable container with anything I want, and still retain the relationship to the original component (not having to detach it). My current workflow has me nesting a “content area” component instance into the a larger component (think page layout, card, modal, etc), and then creating my custom content as a separate component and doing an instance swap to get my custom content into that larger component. It’s either this, or just detaching the larger component and putting my content inside of it, which then defeats the purpose of having that larger component and then it’s just acting a template. This has bothered me for years and I searched for a solution to/request for this and can’t believe

Back Button in the sidebar

A back button (and possibly a forward button) would be very helpful in the sidebar to navigate larger Figma files with multiple pages.

Variable option for stroke thickness

I can’t use a number variable for stroke thickness but I need to, in order to support a particular button design. May as well make variables an option for dash and gap numbers, too.

It would be great if you could see a colour variables hex code when assigning a variable to an elements fill / stroke.

True Aspect Ratio Lock

Can we get a true aspect ratio lock when the ‘Constrain Proportions’ is on? A true aspect ratio lock means two things: When dragging on a node with ‘constrain proportions’, its width and height always stay in their original ratio no matter which direction you drag it. When resizing on the parent of a node with ‘constrain proportions’ that happens to be constrained, the node takes on the smallest of its supposed width and height, and calculates its ratio accordingly. This would be so very helpful to polygon shapes that want to stay in that shape. Consider a spider chart. When you resize its parent, you don’t want the ‘spider net’ to squish squash; neither will you want a doughnut to turn into an oval. *Resizing of the node’s parent layer is inevitable if you need responsive designs.

"Empty" Auto Layout Frame keeps the size of last hidden child

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

Command+K no longer creates text link

The New UI changed the keyboard shortcut for creating a link in text. Command+K is the universal keyboard shortcut for adding a link and changing it to shift+command+U severely slows down my workflow. For many designers and copywriters, command+K is muscle memory, and swapping this adds unnecessary confusion. Can you please change the keyboard shortcut back, or allow users to customize their shortcuts? Switching any keyboard shortcuts out is extremely frustrating to designers who rely on using them to save time in their daily workflow.

Font Weight in Numbers on the Design Panel

Currently Figma only shows font weights as Thin, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black, etc. on the Design Panel, and you can only see the actual value of the weight in the inspect panel, but it would speed up design spec work and documentation work a lot if in the Design panel, next to each weight it also showed the value for that weight, as in Thin (100), Regular (400), Medium (500), Bold (600), and so on, as it is what tokens should use and developers would implement most often.

Insert link keyboard shortcut

Previously, you would hit CMD+K to insert a link. It was very easy to remember as it’s the most common. I am never going to remember Shift+CMD+U as being a link. Would rather a new keyboard shortcut was added to go to the actions menu, than repurposing one already frequently used.

2 factor authentication enforcing

2FA is currently only available in a user account (as far as I’m aware). So each user needs to enable it and can decide if they want to. Some customers really want us to use 2FA for any web app. A simple solution would be for organisation accounts, that we move that setting to the org admin and can enforce it or enable it for all users that way.

Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Figma Slide feature request - Slide Animations

It would be nice to have the ability to add animations to the elements on the slide instead of only between slides. Of course you could duplicate slides and remove the parts you want to progressively reveal but that could quickly clutter the grid.

Bulk clear annotations

I often duplicate existing mocks to work on feature updates. Deleting previous annotations one by one is extremely tedious. It would be helpful if the tool could recognize when a frame has been duplicated and then allow bulk clearing of annotations.

Local Variables visible to View Only users

Engineers on my team just noticed that they can’t see and export local variables unless they have edit permissions. This is a huge limitation since not everyone on my team can have edit permissions due to licensing/cost. My ideas is to keep local variables visible to View Only collaborators. They should not be able to edit the variables.

Option to NOT create subfolders when exporting assets

It really annoys me that Figma automatically creates subfolders when you export an element that’s inside a component and has a ‘/’ naming convention. I always have to go back into the folder and delete the folders or rename everything. It would be great to have a simple checkbox toggle in the exports panel to enable/disable creating subfolders, similar to Illustrator.

Component Boolean - Hide when True

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

Enabling “Snap to Pixel” instantly modifies the fractional coordinates of the frames in the file

Hi! Can somebody explain why with “snap to pixel grid” function on in Figma, the coordinates of files are still can be fractional? It fixes when you move them, but the question is still here why it is happening? And maybe there are some ways to prevent this or fix all frames coordinates in file altogether?

Mind Map Improvements

Please create a feature where the nodes can be collapsed. I’m on the brink of migrating from Mindmeister but FigJam can’t collapse nodes, so my large mind map will look so messy. I only tackle one subtopic at a time in my group meetings. Thanks in advance
