Who can use this feature
Supported on any team or plan
Only people with can edit access to the file can make changes to a layer's position, dimensions, or alignment.
You can use your arrow keys to nudge the position of your layers. Figma allows you to set two default nudge amounts: small nudge and big nudge.
By default, small nudge is set to 1 and big nudge set to 10. Both of these values are in resolution-independent points.
Adjust nudge settings
- Click on the menu.
- Go to Preferences > Nudge amount...
- Enter your desired Small nudge and Big nudge in the fields provided.
- Click outside the window or use the icon to apply and close.
