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.

So, what do you think about this feature feedback?

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?

Seriously, why has this feature not been added yet? 
So many great new features rolling in all the time… why is hyphenation such a big deal. People at Figma, especially languages like German that are notorious for long words, simply fall apart without hyphens. 
Please push this a little further. Hyphens should have been there from day one…

Sério, por que esse recurso ainda não foi adicionado? Tantos novos recursos excelentes surgindo o tempo todo... por que a hifenização é um negócio tão grande? O pessoal da Figma, especialmente idiomas como o alemão, que são famosos por palavras longas, simplesmente desmoronam sem hifens. Por favor, vá um pouco mais longe. Os hifens deveriam estar lá desde o primeiro dia...
