the Rotation field shows and sets the rotation on the page, in frames and groups, through node.set absoluteRotation (#2196); the eyedropper picks a magnified image's pixel under the pointer, not a blend with its neighbours (#2189); Selection colors shows from one distinct colour when a selected layer has children, and from two otherwise, measured in Figma's web app on 2026-11-09 on a frame, a group and plain rectangles; the crosshair of the shape and Text tools is drawn dark with a white edge, so it shows on a white frame whatever the system's pointer style (#2198); a boolean group takes a corner radius (and smoothing) that rounds every sharp corner of its result (#2222); the Point section's X and Y in vector edit mode show Mixed and set every selected point of the layer being edited, as in Figma; Preferences ▸ Invert zoom direction reverses wheel zoom, pinch unchanged (#2145); 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; Escape in the field closes it with the tool back on Move and nothing changed (measured in Figma's web app, 2026-11-09; `pressing_k_focuses_the_scale_field_with_its_text_selected`, `k_two_enter_scales_the_selection_by_two`, `escape_in_the_scale_field_closes_it_and_changes_nothing`); the main menu and its submenus stay inside the window, moving up to fit and scrolling when taller (#2217); locked layers ignore the arrow keys and a locked parent's children can't be locked on their own (#1560); the left rail's and tab strip's icons are larger, 20 pt (#553); pick select: Tab while the keyboard selection box shows (or the chord again) puts a pink outline on a layer and the keys walk the layer tree from it, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1836); 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; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828); Alt+Enter while editing text opens the link at the caret, as the accessibility page documents; Minimize, by its shortcut or the button by the file name, collapses the navigation bar and both sidebars as the help center says, with the right sidebar back while something is selected (#1835); the interface size keys of the help center's accessibility page: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt with =, - and 0 step the interface through the Preferences sizes and back to the system's size; Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+arrows rotate the selection a degree at a time, 15 with Shift, as the help center's accessibility page says; they resized before; the Layers panel answers Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux, the two keys the help center gives it; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682); the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; sidebar number and text fields keep their text vertically centered when focused, including typography spacing; with the pen out, Enter or a double-click ends the path and edits the vector with the Move tool instead of drawing on (#1430); the Actions palette offers only commands that run from it, and no second row reading like a menu item: Place image opens the file dialog (#1574); Preferences ▸ Scroll wheel zoom: a mouse wheel zooms the canvas about the pointer and Cmd/Ctrl+wheel scrolls (#1390); boolean operations refuse input past their caps, and a boolean group past them draws without its result (#1104); the selection and hover outlines of rounded rectangles and frames follow their corners (#1506); colour picker review fixes for text undo, fitted sidebars, moving controls and gradient variables; Corner smoothing: an original icon and the shared number-field drag gesture, preserving fractional baselines; guides snap to layers when dragged; Crop image: Object ▸ Crop image, the right-click menu and the image fill row enter crop mode (`image.crop`, #1464); the Design panel's sections on one grid — 16 / 8 margins, 88 + 8 + 88 + 8 + 24 columns, 24 pt rows, 4 pt between a row's buttons (#858); the toolbar on one 32 pt grid, without its Resources button (#1210); colour picker LCH and OKLCH models; an XML (Android Vector Drawable) export format; Context menus: the Menu key reaches egui 0.37 but is unbound (row done → partial);
