👩‍🎨 🎨 Second screen enhancements

Our community is using Second Screen as a visual way to see more information about their tokens in a grid-style display, and they have requested some enhancements:

  • Resolved values for color modifiers need to be accurate

    • Today, the values don't match what is being shown in the plugin when references are a part of the color token

    • Modifier value doesn't appear in the UI as expected.

  • When viewing the JSON of my tokens in Second Screen, each token includes a system generated ID kvp. This is an issue because:

    • It's not accounted for in our transforms

    • because it is system generated, duplicating or creating tokens in JSON view makes the value impossible to work with

    • If two or more tokens contain the same ID value, changes to the tokens will not save and an error is presented

  • Remove the name label from the token name property, as it triggers password keepers to assume it is a name input field.

😬 The reality

Color-modified tokens were added after Second Screen was launched, and these features weren't included in the scope of work.

💭 How might we...

Ensure that new token types and improvements on existing token types are supported in Second Screen as a part of our project planning?

    Feature Request


    Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click for Batch Selection

    While using the second screen feature, it would be beneficial to have the ability to use common selection shortcuts like Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click to select multiple tokens for batch operations. Currently, only a “Select All” option is available, which limits the flexibility of selecting specific tokens.
