Intro

Figma on Mac uses Command (⌘) for modifier-based shortcuts alongside the single-key tool activation that applies on all platforms. The command palette (Cmd+/) is the fastest way to find any Figma action without memorizing every shortcut.

Mac-specific shortcut notes

Single-key tools. Press the key to activate: V (select), F (frame), R (rectangle), O (ellipse), T (text), P (pen), L (line), K (scale). No modifier needed.

Command palette. Cmd+/ opens Figma's command palette, search any action by name and run it. For actions you don't use often enough to memorize, this is faster than hunting through menus.

Layer management. Cmd+G groups the selected layers; Cmd+Shift+G ungroups. Cmd+Option+G wraps the selection in a new frame. Cmd+[ sends a layer backward; Cmd+] brings it forward. Cmd+Shift+[ sends to the very back; Cmd+Shift+] brings to the front.

Duplicate and edit. Cmd+D duplicates the selected element. Option+drag creates a copy while dragging (instead of moving). Cmd+Enter enters the selected component's edit mode.

Canvas navigation. Cmd+1 fits everything on the canvas to the current view. Cmd+0 resets zoom to 100%. Cmd++ / Cmd+- zoom in and out. Space+drag pans without activating a tool. Z activates the zoom tool.

Vector nodes. In the pen tool (P), modifier keys control how nodes behave when editing paths, these are in the table above under vector editing.

The Figma macOS shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. The layer management and single-key tool sections are the most useful for designers new to Figma's keyboard workflow.
