From dadd4dfc6958c3720d97be5fa9a445ea58f618ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trevor Brown Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 16:50:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] M3: Selection colors shows for a layer with children from one colour (#2188) Measured in Figma web app 2026-11-09: a selection holding a layer with children (frame, group, component, instance) shows Selection colors from one distinct colour; layers without children need two. The section now shows when there are two colours, or one colour and a selected layer with children. Tests in selection_colors_tests; ui-parity updated.

Create style on an ordinary row asks for a name (the next free "Color n" first) and makes a style of the row's whole paint, gradients, opacity, blend mode and variables bound to gradient stops included, linked to every fill and stroke the row stands for in one undo step; a name in use keeps the window open (`selection.createColorStyle`). Text ranges with fills of their own take the style's value, without a link. No library variables from there, and no new variable from a row (#403) | | Keyboard box selection | done | Alt+Space on macOS, Ctrl+Space on Windows and Linux, or F8 (`select.area`): a box around the selection or in the middle of the view; arrows move it, Cmd/Ctrl+arrows or Shift+arrows size it (Shift with Cmd/Ctrl: farther), Enter selects like a marquee (Shift+Enter toggles, Cmd/Ctrl+Enter nested), Escape closes | ## Tools @@ -187,6 +187,7 @@ in the table. `crates/ui-egui/src/shortcut_keys_tests.rs` drives the keys a look | Date | Change | Summary | |---|---|---| +| 2026-11-09 | patch | M3, #2188: Selection colors shows for a selection holding a layer with children (a frame, group, component or instance) from one distinct colour, and for layers without children only from two, as measured in Figma's web app on 2026-11-09: a frame holding one red rectangle, a group of two red rectangles and a frame with a lone black-stroked rectangle show one row; one red rectangle, two red rectangles and a childless green frame show none; a red and a blue loose rectangle show two.

Counts unchanged | | 2026-11-02 | patch | Shortcuts: a Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field (the horizontal or vertical pair, or a side with Individual padding open) makes the value typed go to all four sides, in one undo step (Guide to auto layout, Keyboard shortcut guide); a plain click still edits that axis or side alone. A documented gesture row: 134 documented, 133 bound. Test: `padding_individual_tests` | | 2026-11-01 | patch | Number fields: dragging the field itself with Alt held scrubs it ("You can also hover the input field itself and hold down the modifier key: Mac: ⌥ Option Windows: Alt", Adjust alignment, rotation, position, and dimensions), with the resize cursor and the label's rates (Alt is the enabler there, so it isn't the fine rate); a click with Alt doesn't open the editor.

Counts unchanged | | 2026-11-02 | patch | M6, #1839: 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 by the nudge amounts (`tool.crosshair`), Enter places the object there (`tool.place`), Escape or a tool change takes it away; the canvas draws the crosshair and `ui.inspect` reports it (`tool.crosshair`), the Keyboard shortcuts panel lists the gesture ("Use the arrow keys to activate the crosshair cursor...", Accessibility at Figma). The board Shapes tool places on it too (its 160 px shape centred, as the tool centres a press), and the view pans by the overshoot when the crosshair is nudged past its edge.
