The more I see new features from @figma.com the more upset I get over not improving existing features. There are so many paper cuts that would be a huge quality of life improvement. Here are some examples that I'll try and keep updated πŸ‘‡

Even better would be a keyboard shortcut manager. Right now you have to rely on the action being in the App toolbar so you can use macOS shortcuts, but those are buggy and limited.

Selecting multiple text objects while holding Shift. After your first selection, I expect to be able to select additional objects but Figma thinks you're re-selecting and will drop your existing selection.

One of the hard problems w/ vibe coding is that providing context greatly improves performance but if you forget about files added it can send you down a rabbit hole of frustration trying to debug the code. But if you add the entire codebase, it then slows down your process & performance.

Hey @figma.com, can you make so that if the you try setting l/r/t/b constraints while the aspect ratio is locked that it will auto-unlock the aspect ratio? This always takes me way too long to figure out and makes me feel dumb πŸ™

TIL you can enable dictation on the Mac and customize the shortcut. Makes it a lot easier to write lengthy prompts for AI products that don't support speech to text yet.

Tried out Claude Code and was impressed with the code quality it generated, asked it to refactor a code base and fix some errors. The only downside is it was an expensive operation ($1.50) and I kept accidentally sending requests instead of creating new lines (a costly/frustrating user experience).

As I was debugging w/ Claude Code, I couldn’t help but feeling like companies were stretching out the inner dev loop process as a strategy for β€œgrowth”. If it takes multiple attempts to get something right, that will inevitably increase usage/billing/etc.
