Who says design needs a mouse?
For millions, navigating digital tools with a keyboard isn’t just about preference for speed and ergonomics—it’s a fundamental need. As part of our ongoing effort to make Figma more accessible to all, we’ve been collecting feedback from designers who rely on the keyboard and screen reader as their primary means for navigation. Close collaboration with these designers, including a group of alpha users, has directly informed our new keyboard accessibility features.
Canvas, Meet Code: Building Figma’s Code Layers
Last week, we launched code layers in beta, a new layer type in Figma Sites rendered by React code. Users can use code layers to bring the full power of the web to the visual canvas, building interactive experiences with forms, shaders, interactions, and APIs. At the same time, code layers act like other Figma layers in that they can be nested inside frames, used in components, and moved and resized freely on the canvas.

Keep all your packages up to date with Dependabot
Keeping your dependencies updated is one of the easiest ways to keep the software you build secure. However, while it’s critically important to keep your dependencies updated, in a recent survey, 52% of developers said they find it painful1. Dependabot alleviates that pain by updating your dependencies automatically, so you can spend less time updating dependencies and more time building.
Giving credit for Security Advisories
Since launching Security Advisories, we’ve asked many maintainers for their feedback to help us understand how advisories are being used in their projects. One of the most important pieces of feedback we heard was the desire to simply say “thanks!” to the people that contributed to the advisory. Some maintainers are already doing this today—20% of Security Advisory descriptions mention someone.

Users can set up and manage subscriptions to get notifications in their channels whenever code is pushed/checked in, pull requests (PRs) are created or updated, etc.
Proxying packages with GitHub Package Registry and other updates
It’s been a few months since we announced GitHub Package Registry, a package management service that makes it easy to publish public or private packages next to your source code. As we’ve talked to the community about Package Registry, we’ve heard a few common themes. We’ve heard that ease of configuration is important, from standardizing permissions across repositories and packages to simplifying the configuration needed to use the registry from your command line.
Package Management is generally available: NuGet, npm, and more
NuGet support in Package Management enables continuous delivery workflows by hosting your packages and making them available to your team, your builds, and your releases. With best-in-class support for the latest NuGet 3.x clients, Package Management is an easy addition to your .NET ecosystem.
