Hyphenation for Text Tool

When I write create long paragraphs with text tool on the Figma I get the unnecessary spaces on edges of the paragraph like below.

But I think if there a hyphenation feature (like Adobe Photoshop) it could add dashes automatically on the texts and fix this issue.

    Good point about it being in CSS! Do you know when it was added?

      “Automatic hyphenation on the web has been possible since 2011…” from: All you need to know about hyphenation in CSS | by Richard Rutter | Clearleft Thinking | Medium

      So it was only 11 years ago, obviously still a niche thing that nobody uses. [sarcasm off] 🤦‍♂️

          I"m surprised this has not been done yet. The original idea was posted on 2021. Come on Figma team!
