How Do I Enable Horizontal Scrolling in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:15 am

There are a few different ways that you can enable horizontal scrolling in Figma. One way is to use the scroll bars that are located on the left and right sides of the workspace. Simply click and hold on the scroll bar and then drag it to the left or right to scroll horizontally.

Another way to scroll horizontally is to use the mouse wheel. Simply place your cursor over the area where you want to scroll and then use the mouse wheel to scroll left or right.

PRO TIP: If you enable horizontal scrolling in Figma, be aware that this may cause problems with your design. Horizontal scrolling can make it difficult to line up elements on the page, and can also make it difficult to scroll through long pages of text.

Finally, you can also use the keyboard shortcuts for horizontal scrolling. On a Windows computer, you can use the left and right arrow keys to scroll horizontally. On a Mac, you can use the Command + Option + Left/Right arrow keys to scroll horizontally.

No matter which method you use, horizontal scrolling can be a great way to view your designs at different zoom levels or to see different areas of your design without having to scroll vertically.
