FIGMA could actually become a real contender vs InDesign with these sort of changes. Certainly the ability create layouts, move objects, create moodboards is unparalleled with FIGMA.

Yes please One of the organisations I collaborate it uses Figma already for making e-books, but those justified paragraphs with gaps as huge as Grand Canyon don’t look very good. Looked into options how to make a plugin workaround, but here it wouldn’t help much; even if we got some node hyphenation package to work, it would probably only be able to add silent hyphens or actual hyphens statically, but those wouldn’t update on any change in text or its bounding box.

What would really help at least before a full option to hyphenate text, if Figma could render silent hyphens. They do break words now, but it’s useless without the actual hyphen.

Yes! Support soft hyphens!

we need it, now that the adobe team has taken over it will surely arrive immediately… right? XD (bad choice of emoji sorry)

Up! Needed 🙂

Add it folks… why is this taking so long???

Yes please add hyphenation for text!

+1, need hypenation for block text!

I tried to make my own Figma plugin but there’s no way 😭 😭

Really really needed.

Hi there,

Thank you all for providing feedback! I will share this with our internal team. Your input is highly valued, and we will take it into consideration for future enhancements.

Thanks,

Toku

this would be such a good update!!!

Please !

I would really appreciate this feature!

Yes, please let us hyphenate.

There is NOT hyphenation ? But it’s so basic 😳

Figma i’m begging you, HYPHENATION1

PLEASE! why hasn’t this been added yet? Type looks so crappy in Figma without this simple functions.

Currently, Figma users cannot select an option to hyphenate paragraphs (which would be especially useful when using justified type layout). It otherwise leaves large spaces in between words.

It shouldn’t be a complicated feature build and would certainly help make Figma more layout-friendly.

Here is a workaround I found, I think you guys already know it but have not tried https://youtu.be/hbrA4VjQM0o

Any chance of adding support for css-like hyphens: auto for text wrapping?

Maybe instead of adding AI stuff that no one wants or needs, basic features like this would be more valuable for users?
