I have been using Sketch for more than 2 years now and love it.

Here are some workflow suggestions and tips and plugins I find useful. :)
I’ll keep updating this post at the next Prototyping User Experience events.

Sketch Mate plugin:
https://github.com/getflourish/Sketch-Mate

Duplicates Artboards and moves the others to the right

In particular these shortcuts:
– COMMAND + SHIFT + D
Duplicates Artboards and moves the others to the right

– COMMAND + SHIFT + Delete
Removes Artboards and moves the others to the left

– COMMAND + Delete
Removes the layer in a group and moves the others accordingly

Suggested system keyboard shortcuts to add IF you used Symbols a lot like I do:

No plugin required. :)

– Create Symbol Apple + Alt + CTRL + C

– Return to Instance Apple + Alt + CTRL + W

– Detach from Symbols Apple + Alt + CTRL + D

Important: the shortcuts are case sensitive so make sure they match 100% or they won’t work!

Come back for more tips. :)
