 # UI and interaction parity
 
-> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-11-10 · **Change:** minor (the text caret takes the text's solid fill colour (#2156); wrap style per paragraph and in text styles (#1827); the Annotation tool (Shift+T, `tool.annotation {id?}`): with a layer selected (or an `id`) it asks the UI for that layer's note at once, and in the tool a press on a layer selects it and asks for its note, a press on empty canvas does nothing; the marquee follows Figma's measured rules: a partly covered frame or section gives the layers in it the marquee touches, a rotated shape is touched by its outline, a drag from inside a frame selects that frame only when the marquee also takes another top-level frame (then whole) (`marquee_behaviour_tests`); copy, cut and paste in vector edit mode act on the selected points and segments (#1875); M8, #2146: K focuses the Scale tool's factor field with its text selected, so K, 2, Enter scales the selection by two about the panel's origin (FigCraft's starts at the top left; Figma's grid starts at the centre, left for a follow-up because the origin also sets where a handle drag pivots, which is not measured) in one undo step, after which the tool returns to Move with the selection kept; Escape in the field closes it with the tool back on Move and nothing changed (measured in Figma's web app, 2026-11-09; `pressing_k_focuses_the_scale_field_with_its_text_selected`, `k_two_enter_scales_the_selection_by_two`, `escape_in_the_scale_field_closes_it_and_changes_nothing`); the main menu and its submenus stay inside the window, moving up to fit and scrolling when taller (#2217); locked layers ignore the arrow keys and a locked parent's children can't be locked on their own (#1560); the left rail's and tab strip's icons are larger, 20 pt (#553); pick select: Tab while the keyboard selection box shows (or the chord again) puts a pink outline on a layer and the keys walk the layer tree from it, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1836); scrubbing a field faster or slower by the pointer's height, with a notice of the speed, as the help center's Scrub fields says (#1837); component rows in the Layers panel at AA contrast in the theme's component tint, with the rows inside a selected component in a tone of its row (#1903); Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field sets all four sides with the value typed, a documented auto layout shortcut; a fill per region of a vector: with regions selected in edit mode, the Fill section and the fill commands edit those regions' own fills, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); the Fill section of a text whose characters were coloured differently while editing shows mixed content, characters that all share fills the layer doesn't have show those, and a layer-level fill edit reaches every character (#1856); a number field scrubs when dragged with Alt held, as the help center's scrub section says, not only by its label; reuse visible layer selection roots (M8); ; with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it, and Enter places there, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1839); text direction per paragraph: Text ▸ Text direction forces a paragraph left to right or right to left, as Add right-to-left text says (#1830), with `text.direction`, `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text, inspect, the CSS `direction` and the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality`; the boolean operation menu in the Design panel leads each entry with an original icon drawn in code, a filled preview of the result (#2003); a press on the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas keeps the colour picker open through the drag, as its own control (#1852); a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point curves it, its handles along the line between its neighbours, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828); Alt+Enter while editing text opens the link at the caret, as the accessibility page documents; Minimize, by its shortcut or the button by the file name, collapses the navigation bar and both sidebars as the help center says, with the right sidebar back while something is selected (#1835);

 Fine canvas control is what Figma users feel first: handles, snapping, nudging, modifier keys,
 drag behaviour, numeric precision. This checklist covers the tools, gestures and panels. Status:
@@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ interaction feel not yet compared.
 | Colour picker image well | partial | the Image tab shows a checkered placeholder and Upload from computer until there is a file (no dialog at once); an image paint shows its asset preview; a file dropped on the open picker replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop, position and adjustments (`image.replace`). Layers' fills and strokes only (text ranges, styles and selection colours keep Upload). The Fill and Stroke swatches take no drop: a dragged file's position isn't known, so a drop with none goes to the open picker |
 | Colour picker on a new fill or stroke | done | + opens the picker on the new paint when the selection shares one paint list; on a mixed selection + adds a paint to each layer and no picker opens (#404) |
 | Fill section on a text with coloured characters | done | a text's Fill section shows what its characters show: characters coloured differently while editing are mixed content ("Click + to replace mixed content", as a mixed selection; the developer documentation's `fills`: "Text nodes can have multiple sets of fills if some characters are colored differently than others"), and characters that all share fills the layer doesn't have show those. Any layer-level fill edit (a row, its picker, +, reordering, `fill.*`, `node.set`) reaches every character, starting from the list they showed; the characters' own fills go in the same undo step; the canvas gradient and crop handles show and edit the paint the row shows, the characters' own, also when their image is already in Crop mode (`text_mixed_fill_tests`, `canvas::handles::character_fill_tests`, engine `text_fill_tests`; #1856). A range selected while editing keeps its own Fill row |
+| Fill, stroke and effect rows: click to highlight, Cmd/Ctrl+C, Cmd/Ctrl+V | done | a click on a row's reorder grip (left of its fields) or its background between its controls highlights it in the selected-row colour, one row at a time; Cmd/Ctrl+C (or Edit ▸ Copy) then copies that paint or effect instead of the layers (`fill.copy`, `stroke.copy`, `effect.copy`, as the row's menu does; a stroke takes its weight and settings along) and Cmd/Ctrl+V pastes it onto every selected layer (`fill.paste`, `stroke.paste`, `effect.paste`), one undo step: on top of each layer's list, or in place of the highlighted row when it is of the same kind. A copy keeps its kind: a stroke goes to the strokes and an effect to the effects whatever row is highlighted, and the last row copied is the one pasted. A solid colour also goes to the system clipboard as its hex code; a programmatic copy never writes it. A later layer copy, or text or an image copied in another app, is pasted instead; every window pastes the same copy. Escape, a press on the canvas or elsewhere in the Design panel, another selection, file or tab let the highlight go (#1494). The help center says only that a property is highlighted with a click; adding on top follows the forum's accepted answer for adding one fill without replacing the others, not an observation. Delete and Cmd/Ctrl+X still act on the layers; the keyboard alone can't highlight a row |
 | Blend mode menus: the layer's (Design panel) and each paint's (colour picker) | done | Pass through and Normal are distinct (Normal isolates a group's or frame's children); paints have no pass-through; plus darker drawn exactly on the canvas |
 
 ## Layers and Assets panels
@@ -200,6 +201,7 @@ in the table. `crates/ui-egui/src/shortcut_keys_tests.rs` drives the keys a look
 | 2026-11-07 | patch | Main menu: a submenu opens on the first frame its row is hovered instead of after 0.15 s (Figma's main menu measured with synthetic pointer events and 1 ms polling: median 11 ms to open, 13 ms to switch rows, no hover delay); the safe-triangle aim is unchanged, though the same measurement saw no aim logic in Figma, left for the maintainer to decide |
 | 2026-11-10 | patch | M5, #1560: locked layers follow Figma's rules (Lock and unlock layers; measured in Figma's web app): a locked layer selected in the Layers panel ignores the arrow keys and the nudge commands while its properties still edit, and a child of a locked layer keeps its padlock inert (the Layers panel padlock, Lock/Unlock and `object.toggleLock` without a value no longer lock the child on its own) |
 | 2026-11-10 | patch | #2217: the main menu's submenus (Object, say) ran past the window's bottom, behind the taskbar, with the lowest commands out of reach, because submenus were not constrained to the window (to keep them beside their row). Every menu panel now scrolls when taller than the window less 8 pt margins, and a submenu is held within the window's height (moved up, never above the top) while keeping its place beside its row, so menu-aim is unchanged. Tests: `menu_overflow_tests.rs`. Numbers unchanged. |
+| 2026-11-09 | minor | M1, #1494: fill, stroke and effect rows in the Design panel couldn't be selected, so the keyboard couldn't copy one (only the row's menu could). A click on a row's grip or background now highlights it (`property_rows`; the row is a click target under its controls and its grip takes a click, neither focusable, so Tab still goes control to control), Cmd/Ctrl+C copies that paint or effect, and Cmd/Ctrl+V pastes it onto the selected layers, on top or in place of their highlighted row of that kind, while it is still the last copy (Copy and paste properties between layers). Escape or a press on the canvas lets the highlight go before the selection. Tests: `property_rows_tests` (22) |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | Shortcuts: a Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field (the horizontal or vertical pair, or a side with Individual padding open) makes the value typed go to all four sides, in one undo step (Guide to auto layout, Keyboard shortcut guide); a plain click still edits that axis or side alone. A documented gesture row: 134 documented, 133 bound. Test: `padding_individual_tests` |
 | 2026-11-01 | patch | Number fields: dragging the field itself with Alt held scrubs it ("You can also hover the input field itself and hold down the modifier key: Mac: ⌥ Option Windows: Alt", Adjust alignment, rotation, position, and dimensions), with the resize cursor and the label's rates (Alt is the enabler there, so it isn't the fine rate); a click with Alt doesn't open the editor. Found by a documentation audit of the ui-parity rows. Test: `field_tests::alt_held_over_a_field_scrubs_it`. Counts unchanged |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M6, #1839: with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it by the nudge amounts (`tool.crosshair`), Enter places the object there (`tool.place`), Escape or a tool change takes it away; the canvas draws the crosshair and `ui.inspect` reports it (`tool.crosshair`), the Keyboard shortcuts panel lists the gesture ("Use the arrow keys to activate the crosshair cursor...", Accessibility at Figma). The board Shapes tool places on it too (its 160 px shape centred, as the tool centres a press), and the view pans by the overshoot when the crosshair is nudged past its edge. Tests: `place_crosshair_tests`, `shortcut_keys_tests::arrows_show_and_move_the_placement_crosshair_with_a_shape_tool`. |
