# Figma vector editing gets an eraser and drag-to-fill

By Steven Van · 2026-08-24

Press Shift+E in vector edit or Draw mode to erase paths, or drag a colour or gradient to fill several regions at once.

**Figma** vector editing now has an eraser and a drag-to-fill tool, so shaping paths by hand doesn't break your flow.

- Erase vector paths directly to clean up stray marks or reshape existing artwork

- Choose a color or gradient, then drag to fill or recolor multiple regions at once

- Press Shift+E to switch to the eraser in vector edit mode or Draw mode (the existing Shift+E shortcut for the Prototype tab in Design mode is unchanged)
