Figma Camera Locations

About this plugin

Figma Camera Locations Plugin

Source code available at https://github.com/matteomastromoro/figma-cameralocations

This is a simple Figma plugin that allows you to save and recall up to four different camera locations (viewport position and zoom level) within your Figma file. This helps you quickly navigate between different areas or zoom levels of your design without manually panning and zooming each time.

How to Use

Save a Location: Navigate to the view you want to save, then call one of the commands "Save Location [1-4]".

Recall a Location: Call the "Recall Location [1-4]" to instantly return to that saved view.

You can also access these commands via the Figma Quick Actions menu (Ctrl+/ or Cmd+/) by typing the name of the command.

Windows Companion AutoHotkey Script (Optional)

The repository also includes an AutoHotkey script (FigmaCameraLocations.ahk) for Windows users. This script maps the save and recall actions to function keys for even faster access:

Alt+F1 to Alt+F4: Save locations 1 to 4

F1 to F4: Recall locations 1 to 4

Feel free to edit the script to remap the shortcuts the way you prefer.

Note: AutoHotkey must be installed and the script must be running for these hotkeys to work. The way I use it is autostarting it by putting the shortcut from the script in shell:startup. The file FigmaCameraLocations_AHKv1.ahk is an alternative version of the script for whoever still uses the old AutoHotkey version, AHK v1.

Mapping Shortcuts on macOS (Alternative)

If you are using macOS, you can map keyboard shortcuts to Figma plugin menu commands directly through the operating system:

1) Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS versions).

2) Go to Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts... > App Shortcuts.

3) Click the + button to add a new shortcut.

4) Select Figma.app from the Application dropdown.

5) In the Menu Title field, enter the exact name of the plugin command as it appears in the Figma Plugins menu (e.g., Save Location 1, Recall Location 2).

6) In the Keyboard Shortcut field, press the key combination you want to assign (e.g., ⌥F1 for Alt+F1).

7) Click Add.

8) Repeat for each command you want to map.
