Figma Design is the vector editor at the centre of Figma — frames, components, auto layout and multiplayer editing in the browser or the desktop app. Its shortcuts are worth learning as a set: one hand stays on the tool keys while the other drives selection, alignment and auto layout, which is most of what a day in Figma actually is.
