Fine canvas control is what Figma users feel first: handles, snapping, nudging, modifier keys,
drag behaviour, numeric precision. This checklist covers the tools, gestures and panels. Status:

| Colour names in hex fields | done | every hex field (fills, strokes, text ranges, effects, layout grids, colour variables, page and prototype backgrounds, the colour picker's Hex) takes a CSS colour name as well: `red` becomes `FF0000`; case, spaces and hyphens are ignored (`Light Blue`); names are opaque and keep the colour's opacity; hex wins where both could match. The picker's CSS field takes every CSS name too (`Color::from_hex_or_name`, `color::named`) |
| Fields select their text on focus | done | Number and text values keep their vertical position when their editor gains focus (including typography spacing; `sidebar_field_text_stays_in_place_on_focus`). a click or Tab into a one-line field selects all of its text, so typing replaces the value: hex and colour fields, number fields, inline fields (a fill's hex, variable values, renames), names, search boxes and dialog fields; a drag from the press selects only what it covers; multi-line fields (descriptions, comments) keep the caret where clicked. The first click into an inline field (a fill's hex) now takes the keyboard; it took a second click. A rename (double-click, F2, File ▸ Rename, a page) selects the whole name before its field first draws, so a key typed in that same frame replaces the name; it was appended (`widgets::select_all_on_focus`, `select_all_tests`, `layers_rename_tests`) |
| Colour picker models | done | Hex, RGB, HSL, HSB, LCH, OKLCH and CSS; LCH and OKLCH keep lightness and hue when a colour leaves sRGB (chroma comes down); the values typed stay while the colour is theirs (a hue typed on a grey, a chroma sRGB can't hold); CSS reads `lch()` and `oklch()` with any hue unit and `none` (`figcraft_color::{Lch, Oklch}`). Values are the stored channels read as sRGB |

| 2026-11-03 | patch | M1, #1903: the Layers panel drew component, variant and instance names in the canvas outline purple whatever the theme (3.1:1 on the dark panel, 2.7:1 on the selected row, under WCAG AA's 4.5:1), and the rows inside a selected component in the green of a plain selection. They take the theme's component tint (`Tokens::component`: the dark theme's lilac; the light theme's a shade darker than the canvas purple, so it reads at AA on a selected and a hovered row too), and the rows inside a selected component a tone of its row (`component_row_child`). The selection's own green is FigCraft's and stays; the canvas keeps its purple. Test: `layers_component_rows_tests`. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-11-04 | patch | M1, #1852: a press on one of the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas is the colour picker's own, not a press outside it (Figma keeps the picker and the handles up while a handle or stop is dragged; the stops are made to be dragged: "You can click and drag a stop to change its placement on the gradient", Use gradients as a fill or stroke). The canvas took the press and began the drag, then the picker, drawn later in the same frame, saw a press outside its card and closed, committing the drag's interaction at once; the handles vanished with it and the drag went on without an undo step of its own. Now the picker stays while a gradient handle or stop drags, and the drag is one undo step; a press elsewhere on the canvas still closes it. A handle drag whose button goes up off the canvas (over a panel or the picker) ends there too, instead of waiting, uncommitted, to move the handle to the next press on the canvas. Tests: `colorpicker_selection_tests::dragging_a_gradient_handle_on_the_canvas_keeps_the_picker_open`, `colorpicker_selection_tests::a_gradient_drag_released_off_the_canvas_ends_there`. |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M8, #1875: a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point between two segments gives it handles along the line between its neighbours, a third of the way to each ("Click on a point or path where you want to add a curve", Edit vector layers); a click on a curved point still makes it sharp, a drag still sets the handles by hand, an endpoint is left alone. Between a handle's end and a point both within reach of the pointer, the nearer one on the page is hit (the handle on a tie), so a short path's point (its handles a few pixels long) can be clicked again. Before, only a drag curved a point, and a short one left two tiny handles in its direction. Tests: `vectoredit::tests::short_handles_leave_their_point_clickable`, `vectoredit::tests::a_bend_click_curves_a_sharp_point_between_its_neighbours`, `bend_tool_smooths_and_sharpens_points`. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-11-02 | minor | M4, #1827: wrap style on a text layer (`WrapStyle`: Auto, Balance, Pretty): Balance re-breaks each paragraph at the narrowest width that keeps its line count (bisection over the greedy breaker, as browsers balance), Pretty narrows one of the last four lines just enough so the last line isn't one word; `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle` (`textWrap` too), inspect `wrapStyle`, Dev Mode CSS `text-wrap` (Tailwind `text-balance` / `text-pretty`), the Type settings control under Vertical trim. Per-paragraph settings, text-style support and the `.fig` import/export mapping stay open. Test: `text_behaviour_tests::balance_and_pretty_wrap_styles_break_lines_as_documented`. |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M4: Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item takes its marker and keeps its level ("Use Backspace or Delete at the beginning of a list item to delete the counter, but keep the same level of indentation", Create bulleted and numbered lists): a plain paragraph may now carry a list level, and the text layout starts it where that level's item text starts (the gutters stay even when no list is left). Backspace used to drop the level too, and Delete at an item's start deleted the next character. Tab on such a paragraph types a tab, as outside a list.
