About Figma and its shortcuts

Figma is a design tool that runs in a browser, and its keyboard is one of the most complete in this catalog: tools on single letters, alignment and distribution, components, auto layout and the view controls. Designers who work fast in Figma use the keyboard almost exclusively for tool switching.

Figma runs both in a browser and as a desktop application, and a browser can intercept some combinations in the first. A few commands depend on whether you are in design mode, prototype mode or the dev view.
