A short Figma tutorial/demo by Matt D. Smith showing three different modifier-key behaviors for resizing frames in Figma. The presenter demonstrates that: holding Shift constrains proportions, holding Option resizes from the center, and holding Command keeps the container contents from moving; he also demonstrates using Shift+Option+Command together to resize multiple items in place.

Questions this video answers

Constrains the proportion.

Resizes from the center (constrains from the center).

Prevents the container contents from moving around (keeps contents in place).

Shift + Option + Command.

Did you know there are three different ways you can resize a frame inside a figma depending on which quick key you are using? Let's take a look. So I am going to go ahead and just grab that and then what we'll do is we will hit command option G and we'll just call this plus and we'll just call this Circle shift Constrains the proportion option, constrains it from the center command, makes it so the container contents don't move around. So I'm going to hold shift option command and then move all of them together.
