Shift while rotating lands on absolute multiples of 15°, measured in Figma; Flatten bakes a vector's point corner radius into its path (#2195); a click on a fill, stroke or effect row's grip or background highlights it, Cmd/Ctrl+C copies that paint or effect and Cmd/Ctrl+V pastes it onto the selected layers, as the help center's Copy and paste properties between layers says (#1494); wrap style per paragraph and in text styles (#1827); the Annotation tool (Shift+T, `tool.annotation {id?}`): with a layer selected (or an `id`) it asks the UI for that layer's note at once, and in the tool a press on a layer selects it and asks for its note, a press on empty canvas does nothing; the marquee follows Figma's measured rules: a partly covered frame or section gives the layers in it the marquee touches, a rotated shape is touched by its outline, a drag from inside a frame selects that frame only when the marquee also takes another top-level frame (then whole) (`marquee_behaviour_tests`); copy, cut and paste in vector edit mode act on the selected points and segments (#1875); M8, #2146: K focuses the Scale tool's factor field with its text selected, so K, 2, Enter scales the selection by two about the panel's origin (FigCraft's starts at the top left; Figma's grid starts at the centre, left for a follow-up because the origin also sets where a handle drag pivots, which is not measured) in one undo step, after which the tool returns to Move with the selection kept;

scrubbing a field faster or slower by the pointer's height, with a notice of the speed, as the help center's Scrub fields says (#1837); component rows in the Layers panel at AA contrast in the theme's component tint, with the rows inside a selected component in a tone of its row (#1903); Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field sets all four sides with the value typed, a documented auto layout shortcut; a fill per region of a vector: with regions selected in edit mode, the Fill section and the fill commands edit those regions' own fills, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); the Fill section of a text whose characters were coloured differently while editing shows mixed content, characters that all share fills the layer doesn't have show those, and a layer-level fill edit reaches every character (#1856); a number field scrubs when dragged with Alt held, as the help center's scrub section says, not only by its label; reuse visible layer selection roots (M8); ; with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it, and Enter places there, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1839); text direction per paragraph: Text ▸ Text direction forces a paragraph left to right or right to left, as Add right-to-left text says (#1830), with `text.direction`, `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text, inspect, the CSS `direction` and the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality`; the boolean operation menu in the Design panel leads each entry with an original icon drawn in code, a filled preview of the result (#2003); a press on the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas keeps the colour picker open through the drag, as its own control (#1852); a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point curves it, its handles along the line between its neighbours, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says;

 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:

 | 2026-11-10 | patch | M1, #2198: with a shape, frame, slice or Text tool the pointer was the system's crosshair, white under some pointer styles on Windows and lost on the default white frame; it is now drawn at the pointer in dark lines with a white edge, open at the centre (`Glyph::Crosshair`), so it shows on any canvas colour. |
+| 2026-11-09 | patch | Preferences ▸ Invert zoom direction (#2145): Cmd/Ctrl+wheel, and a plain mouse wheel with Scroll wheel zoom on, zoom the other way; pinch and panning unchanged. Numbers unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-07 | patch | Transform: Shift while rotating lands on absolute multiples of 15°, measured in Figma (a layer at 7° or -4.27° Shift-rotated by its corner ends at 15°); FigCraft rounded the turn since the drag began, so 7° landed on 7 + k*15. The gesture keeps the selection's shared rotation and rounds base + turn; a selection with different rotations keeps rounding the turn. Test: `shift_rotating_lands_on_multiples_of_15_not_steps_from_the_start` |
 | 2026-11-10 | patch | M1 review follow-up: strengthen canvas alpha, clipping/coverage, grid geometry/order and drawn-theme tests; use settled fresh sidebars at each width, check HEX visibility and opacity alignment, and assert picker toggling preserves page alpha. Production behavior unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-09 | patch | M1: canvas page transparency uses a checkerboard that follows light/dark themes and applies background alpha once, including partial or missing renders. The page control also fits both sidebar width limits. Tests: `canvas::background::tests`, `field_tests::page_background_colour_and_opacity_fit_a_resized_sidebar`. Numbers unchanged |
