About this plugin
Figma has an annoying habit: delete a layer and it drops your selection entirely, leaving you to dig back into your layer tree over and over again. Delete Doesn’t Deselect fixes that.When you delete a node, the plugin automatically moves focus to the nearest sibling (or the parent if no sibling exists) so you stay exactly where you were working.To use, just launch the plugin and keep it running. Note: Figma requires plugins to have a visible window to keep running, so there's a small pill UI you'll need to keep open — tuck it in a corner and it'll stay out of your way. Free, no setup required.
