The shortcut to create multiple components in Figma is ⌥⇧⌘K.
When working in Figma, you often need to turn several distinct objects or groups of layers into reusable components. Instead of creating each component individually, Figma provides a shortcut to quickly turn multiple selected items into separate components all at once.
Figma Component Shortcuts
Based on the provided reference, here are the key shortcuts related to creating components in Figma:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Create a single component | ⌥⌘K |
| Create multiple components | ⌥⇧⌘K |
| Create a component set | ⌃⌥⌘K |
| Combine as variants | ⌥⌘V |
Using ⌥⇧⌘K is a significant time-saver when you have a collection of elements that should each become their own main component, such as a set of icons, buttons, or card designs.
How to Use the Shortcut
- Select all the distinct frames, groups, or layers you want to turn into components.
- Press ⌥⇧⌘K on your keyboard.
Each selected top-level object will be converted into its own main component, which will appear in your Assets panel and on the canvas marked with the component icon.
This shortcut is particularly useful for maintaining an organized design system library by quickly generating components from a batch of finished designs.
