 drag behaviour, numeric precision. This checklist covers the tools, gestures and panels. Status:

+| 2026-11-01 | patch | Shortcuts: Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+↑/↓ (and ←/→) rotate the selection one degree at a time, 15 with Shift ("Press ⌘Command ⌥Option ↑/ ↓ on Mac or Control Alt ↑/↓ on Windows to rotate an object one degree at a time", Accessibility at Figma); they resized by the nudge before, which Cmd/Ctrl+arrows without Alt still do. Down and right turn clockwise, up and left back (the documentation is silent on the direction). In the shortcuts panel's Transform tab, over the control channel's `ui.key` too. Found by a documentation audit of the shortcuts. Test: `shortcut_keys_tests::cmd_alt_arrows_rotate_a_degree_and_fifteen_with_shift`. Documented rows 129 → 130, bound 128 → 129 |
 | 2026-11-01 | patch | Shortcuts: the Layers panel opens with Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux ("Mac: Option 1 Windows: Ctrl 1" in Select layers and objects; "Windows: Alt 1" in Explore the navigation bar and left sidebar). macOS keeps Option+1. Found by a documentation audit of the shortcuts (every chord driven over the control channel). Tests: `keymap_tests::the_layers_panel_answers_both_of_its_documented_windows_keys`, the parity row. Counts unchanged |
 | 2026-10-31 | minor | M1, #1682: as the help center describes the colour picker, choosing Image no longer opens a file dialog at once: the tab shows a checkered placeholder and Upload from computer until there is a file. An image paint shows its asset preview with the same button. A file dropped on the open picker replaces the image and keeps the fill mode, crop, position and adjustments; on the placeholder it becomes the paint's image, filling the layer. While a file is dragged the picker says it takes it instead of the window saying Drop to import. New command `image.replace {ids?, target?, index?, data | path}`, through the same size cap and decoder as `image.place`; one undo step. Dropped files in the browser arrive as `data`. A native window or a browser doesn't say where a dragged file is, so a drop with no known position goes to the open picker, and one known to be over the canvas imports as before. Left: the Fill and Stroke swatches in the Design panel don't take a drop, since their place can't be told during a drag; pasting into the picker isn't documented and isn't added. Tests: `colorpicker_image_tests`, `image_crop_tests::replacing_an_image_keeps_its_fill_mode_crop_and_adjustments`. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | Gap 4: the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does (at the focused layer row or below the canvas selection, with the keyboard in the menu). egui already reported the key; FigCraft's keymap had no name or binding for it. `view.contextMenu` now takes `Menu` too, and the Context menus row is done (`layers_keyboard_tests`). Stale rows corrected: smart-selection spacing has had reorder rings since the "M1: smart-selection drag reordering" landing (the row is still partial: irregular grids and several marked layers aren't covered), and gap 4 and the parity summary quoted shortcut counts from before the last bindings (now 128 bound, none missing, 57 undocumented pinned, as `shortcut_parity_tests` counts). |
