Figmode - Vi-like Modal Keyboard Plugin for Figma

A Figma plugin that adds vi-like modal keyboard shortcuts for rapid design manipulation. Type single keys to quickly adjust autolayout properties (width, height, spacing, padding) without touching the mouse - optimized for power users.

Figma's push toward developer-adjacent workflows has brought a wave of keyboard-first power users into the tool who find mouse-driven design friction genuinely painful, and vi-modal input maps cleanly onto that frustration. No clear incumbent exists — a handful of Figma keyboard shortcut plugins exist but none implement actual modal editing in the vi sense. The revenue band is honest: this is a niche utility that converts a small slice of Figma's user base willing to pay a one-time or low subscription fee, and $300–1.5k/month reflects that ceiling accurately rather than underselling it. The dominant failure mode is surface area — autolayout properties are useful but limited, and if the command vocabulary doesn't expand quickly enough to cover a real design workflow, users install it once, find the gaps, and uninstall.
