CopyProps - Figma Property Copier
A Figma plugin that allows you to selectively copy element properties in a clean, readable format.
Features
- Automatic Property Extraction: Instantly view all properties of any selected Figma element
- Selective Copying: Use checkboxes to choose which properties to copy
- Persistent Preferences: Your checkbox selections are remembered across sessions
- Visual Feedback: Unchecked properties are visually indicated with strikethrough and fade effect
- Clean Output Format: Properties are copied in a human-readable format, not JSON
- Nested Object Support: Complex properties (fills, strokes, effects) are formatted as single-line, comma-separated values
- Scrollable Table: Smooth scrolling for long property lists while keeping controls fixed
- GitHub Integration: Quick access to the repository directly from the plugin UI

Technology Stack
- TypeScript
- Figma Plugin API
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript (UI)
- localStorage (for persistent preferences)
How It Works
- code.ts: Main plugin code that runs in Figma's context. Listens for selection changes and extracts properties from selected elements.
- ui.html: Plugin UI that displays properties in a table with checkboxes, handles copying to clipboard, and manages user preferences.
- manifest.json: Plugin configuration file.
