I live in Figma, and I’m constantly creating autolayouts, and I tend to know as I’m going what parameters each new autolayout is going to need. Figma gives you shift+a to frame objects into an autolayout, but that’s it.

So I built Figmode, which gives you a vi-like modal command layer. So you can type `w` to go into `width` mode and change it to fill/hug/fixed, then ` to back out, then h for height, then spacing, padding, and more. The default keys are optimized such that you can do it all with your left hand, and in nearly all cases without moving your hand.

It’s easiest to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35yQikx1XNs

And the plugin itself is here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1638937084194831846

It’s free and open-source, and I’ve been using it for a little while now and have developed a muscle memory that makes it super productive. I’d love to hear any feedback, and hope it’s as useful to y’all as it is to me :)
