Request: Change the Dev Mode Keyboard Shortcut (MacOS)


Tim_Beitz

“Shift + D” is very easy to press and similiar to other high-prioirty keyboard shortcut (“Shift+[Character]” in context of Figma’s shortcut scheme, yet switching back and forth between Dev Mode and Design Mode doesn’t necessarily need such quick or frequent access, comparatively. Furthermore, Figma’s keyboard shortcut cannot be overidden because the key binding is simply “Shift + [Character]”, which is disallowed as a keyboard shortcut under the MacOS system. It’s too easy to hit inadvertently and becomes a workflow distraction cost unequal to its benefit.

Totally agree. This keeps happening to me.
What is the keyboard shortcut for getting back to Design Mode from Dev Mode???

You can hit “Shift + D” again to toggle between modes. Sometimes it has a little lag to it.
