Hotkeys in Figma
Figma, like any other program, uses hotkeys in its work. You can find out which combinations are responsible for which tool simply by looking at the tips in the layers panel.
You can also see hotkey combinations at the bottom right "question mark". By clicking here you will see tips from Figma itself on different sections.
The keys that you have used at least once in your account are highlighted in blue.
Hotkeys speed up and simplify our work many times. At first it may seem inconvenient, but over time, when you get used to it, you will work in Figma much faster.
Here are some Figma shortcuts, but they may differ slightly depending on your PC or the version of Figma itself:
