Discover Hidden Functionalities with #FigmaTip Roundup 1.0 | Figma Blog (opens in new tab)

The post launches Figma’s #FigmaTip Roundup, a collection of small, community-shared techniques for discovering less obvious features in Figma. The featured tips focus on faster editing, navigation, and object selection, showing how keyboard shortcuts and property-based commands can streamline design workflows.

Copying Layer Properties

• Multiple layer properties can be selected and copied to other objects.
• This provides a quicker alternative to manually reproducing styles or settings across layers.

Canvas Panning Shortcuts

• Press Z + an arrow key to pan around the canvas.
• Hold Shift + Z to pan using larger movements or “nudges.”
• These shortcuts make navigating large canvases faster without relying on scrollbars or trackpad gestures.

Selecting Objects with Matching Properties

• The roundup also highlights a feature for selecting objects that share the same properties.
• This can help designers efficiently work with groups of similarly styled or configured objects.

The article encourages designers to explore Figma’s hidden capabilities and share their own discoveries through #FigmaTip.
