Figma is adding to its keyboard shortcuts to improve navigation and selection for power users and for keyboard-only users. It’s a win-win that improves accessibility and efficiency. Sarah Kelley, product marketer at Figma writes:

For millions, navigating digital tools with a keyboard isn’t just about preference for speed and ergonomics—it’s a fundamental need. …

We’re introducing a series of new features that remove barriers for keyboard-only designers across most Figma products. Users can now pan the canvas, insert objects, and make precise selections quickly and easily. And, with improved screen reader support, these actions are read aloud as users work, making it easier to stay oriented.

Nice work!
