Question 2

Shortcuts for Framer vs vanilla Framer: which is better for quick prototyping?

Accepted Answer

Shortcuts for Framer is better for rapid prototyping with pre-built animation and event methods, saving time on common tasks. Vanilla Framer is preferable if you need full control over animations or are using newer Framer versions.

No, it's designed specifically for Framer 3; Framer X has a different architecture and may not support this library without significant modifications or not at all.

Question 5

Why do I get errors when using layer names in shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

This could be due to reserved JavaScript variable names; ensure your layer names don't conflict with keywords like 'class' or 'function', as mentioned in the README's General section.

Question 6

How can I customize animation curves in shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

Edit the top of the shortcuts.js file to change default curves and timing parameters, as detailed in the Customization section of the README, allowing tailored animation behaviors.
