I’m having trouble with my Figma app because several keyboard shortcuts have stopped working correctly. This is really frustrating when I’m trying to work on my designs quickly. I’ve tried restarting the application but the problem persists. The shortcuts used to work fine before but now they don’t respond at all when I press them. Does anyone know how to restore these keyboard shortcuts in Figma? Is there a way to reset the shortcut settings or maybe reassign them to different keys? I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to get my shortcuts working again so I can improve my workflow efficiency.
Had this exact problem last month on a client project. Super frustrating but the fix was simpler than I expected. First - are you using desktop or web? Desktop handles shortcuts way better in my experience. If you’re already on desktop, log out completely and back in (don’t just restart the app). Also check if any recent updates messed with your system shortcuts - sometimes antivirus or productivity apps steal key combos without telling you. Try closing everything else and see if shortcuts come back. If all else fails, just reinstall Figma. That’s what finally worked for me when nothing else did.
hey pete, i feel ya! had that problem too. make sure you’re on the right tab in figma when pressing shortcuts, and check if browser extensions are interfering. also, clearing your cache might help! good luck!
I encountered a similar issue a while back, especially when deadlines were approaching. Initially, check for any conflicting keyboard shortcuts from your operating system or browser, as these can interfere with Figma. Closing other applications and testing Figma in incognito mode may also help identify if another app is causing the problem. Moreover, inspect Figma’s preferences to ensure no shortcuts have been unintentionally modified, as updates can reset these settings. Lastly, ensure you are running the latest version of Figma, since shortcut bugs are often resolved in newer releases.
