Allow break lines in string variables

Apple’s IDE, Xcode, handles this well in its Strings catalogs using an alt-return. A multiline browser would be a nice touch too.

The interface looks like this:

This works, but the result is different to a real paragraph spacing.
And I hate Figma for stupid work arounds like this 🤯

Indeed, we need a real thing than an approach look-a-like

Here is the solution:

This didn’t work for me. Does it still work for you? Do you have another solution? Thanks!

​@Ioana_Ionescu Are you sure? I’ve just tested the aforementioned method and it worked! Just paste the desired text (with your break lines created) to the input, just like you would with any other local variable value.

​@Jeremias_Santos 
Yes, I just tried it again and it doesn’t work :( I pasted the text with the break lines from Notepad and it’s still just one line of text. I used a unicode - Line Separator (U+2028): [‌
] I pasted the value between the brackets where I wanted my break line to be. That’s the only way I could make it work. 

​@Ioana_Ionescu Have you tried creating the break lines in Figma with the Text tool? Copy the text from there, not Notepad, and it should work.

​@Jeremias_Santos Thanks! Looks like it worked this time. I tried it when I first came across this issue and at the time it didn't work. 

Using the text tool in figma to add multiple line breaks and pasting into variables didn’t work (Figma on pc). 

Shift+enter in variables editor doesn’t work.

The only thing that worked was copying and pasting - Line Separator (U+2028): [‌
] I From ​@Ioana_Ionescu  post above for which I thank greatly. 

This really shouldn’t be an issue. I really hope that now UI3 is out, they can focus on doing something actually worth while, like making variables interface a bit more user friendly.
