Easily adjust font size, weight, letter spacing and line height using modifier keys and the <, > symbols. On Windows, swap out "alt" for "⌥" and "ctrl" for "⌘"#figmatip pic.twitter.com/byFfkVWUMe

In @figma, draw a selection then hold the space bar to move the selection over the objects you want to select. Great for getting items inside of those tight spots. 🎉 pic.twitter.com/zEcCb90Jyk
Cool tip on adjusting mixed values like object size or Auto Layout padding.
I never knew you could adjust mixed values in Figma like this pic.twitter.com/8bmMRJb0iT

Useful shortcuts to toggle between Design, Prototype, and Inspect panels.
⌨️ Figma Tip: use Shift-E to quickly toggle between the Design and Prototype tabs, or ⌥8 for Design, ⌥9 for Prototype, and ⌥0 for Inspect.

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!

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 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
That’s a pretty badass collection of shortcuts — I didn’t know most of them!
