Figma Dev mode now shows string keys used for texts

Now developers can read string keys assigned to texts on your Figma app screens, while having just view-only permission for the Figma files.

Steps for developers:

1) Turn on Dev mode (https://www.figma.com/dev-mode/) in your Figma project

2) Install Localizely plugin (https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1149839905856959280/localizely) in Figma

3) Select components in your Figma design

4) The plugin will show assigned sting keys for selected texts, that designers previously assigned (or auto-generated) in Figma

This enabled designers to give view-only permission in Figma to developers, and that way ensure design won't be modified by devs.
