Understand how mastering keyboard shortcuts in Figma speeds up design work and improves productivity.

Sample Data: Common Figma Keyboard Shortcuts

Interactivity

Filter by Action type (e.g., only Group/Ungroup shortcuts). When filtered, the KPI card and bar chart update to show totals and frequencies for the selected shortcuts only. The table updates to show only filtered rows.

Self Check

If you add a filter to show only shortcuts with Frequency greater than 30, which components update and what changes occur?

• KPI Card updates to show total uses of filtered shortcuts (Select Tool, Zoom In, Zoom Out = 130)
• Bar Chart updates to show only those shortcuts with frequency > 30
• Table shows only rows with Frequency > 30

Key Result

Dashboard shows frequency of Figma keyboard shortcut usage and total daily uses.
