Started mapping my Figma shortcuts to my mouse buttons last month.
My time to mock up a basic landing page went from about 90 minutes to under 50. I set my side button to 'duplicate' and it cut out so much clicking. Anyone else have a favorite hardware tweak for their main design app?

Wish I could be that organized. My mouse only has the two default buttons, so my main hardware tweak is just hitting control-z a lot. It's a very advanced system.

Oh man, control-z is the real unsung hero. My whole workflow is just typing too fast, making a huge typo, and then frantically hitting undo before anyone sees. It's basically my version of a high-tech editing suite. I've undone entire sentences by accident and just had to sit there, defeated. Truly a flawless system.

My trackball has this little ring around the thumb wheel that I use for alt-tab switching. It sounds dumb but I set it to a light scroll feel and now I can flip between Figma and my browser without lifting my hand off the mouse. The other day I was trying to show a coworker a component library and I kept accidentally zooming out because the ring triggers too easily. Had to hold the mouse up and point at the screen like a caveman. But for real, the duplicate button on the side button is genius, I gotta try that for layers.
