We've added 8 more layouts (UK, SE, FI, DK, NO, IT, ES, LATAM) so more folks can work faster in @Figma.
It's been fun to dig into ⌨️ quirks with @mwichary @dorothchen @SulaYang1 + Rachel Miller!

Jumping to the object
Super useful tip: double-click on the icon of an object in the Layers panel to jump to it. (Double-clicking on a name will trigger renaming.)
No fucking way. I’ve just learned that if you double click the Frame/Autolayout/text (whatever it is) icon in the layers panel, Figma will jump to it. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/HmgWoHHCYQ

Middle-clicking on a hyperlink
Middle-clicking or ⌘-clicking on the hyperlink goes directly to the target.
Did you know you can now middle-click on a @figma hyperlink to directly jump to target?

Also If you don't like clicking on the middle mouse button you can also ⌘click on the hyperlink pic.twitter.com/k0TdZWUesO
