8 useful Framer shortcuts for faster design work

Framer shortcuts help you work faster on the canvas by reducing small layout, selection, visibility, and wrapping steps. These shortcuts make it easier to resize constrained Frames, insert library Components, move crowded layers, toggle visibility, control reparenting, and clean up unnecessary wrappers.

Lesson details

Use Command on macOS or Control on Windows while resizing to ignore constraints for the current drag. Open library Components with Command or Control plus slash, move a selected layer by holding Option Command or Control Alt while dragging, and toggle visibility with Command or Control plus semicolon.

Shift A fits one layer or wraps several layers in a Stack. Command or Control plus Delete removes an unnecessary wrapper while keeping its children, which helps you clean up the layer structure without rebuilding it.

Keep the layer tree easy to read while you work. Clear names and purposeful containers make later responsive edits faster and reduce accidental changes to the wrong parent.
