Justification Offsets for Text in Shape


Kyle Chipman

This idea is specifically emerging from the tight left-or-right justification on text inside a shape. I often want to introduce a few spaces, give the text some breathing room, but that manual formatting becomes tedious to add to every shape instance. It also removes the speed of quickly replacing text, having to add the spaces every time. This issue is amplified when the stroke becomes larger, as the stroke stacks towards the interior. Please see the gif below for reference.


Justification Offsets would be one way to solve for this. It would be great if this kind of formatting could feed in to a larger Style management system (building off the current Copy Style / Paste Style commands). Thanks!

Yes, adjustable padding in shapes, please!

I need this! It would simplify so many of my boards. In general, having more options for manipulating type would be amazing - such as offsetting justification. Adjusting line height, kerning etc.
