Thought I could comp out a web page real quick in XD. Sad to say without text tools that mimic what we can do on a website, this tool is not ready for the job. The newer "Layout" stuff is the bomb... auto padding! Wow. But, basic text? Rich text? Come on! Desperately needed!

When using paragraph spacing I cannot hold shift + return (soft return) to make a custom line break i.e. fix widows and orphans in paragraph without the paragraph spacing.

Only a hard return should use paragraph spacing, shift + return should ignore paragraph spacing.

yes please, stumbled over that several times

Again, a very very fundamental feature that is missing.

Just freaking do it already...

Seriously? Adobe get on this. We need a soft return in XD!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

It should be a basic feature, and is most everywhere else. Just do it!

Yeaahhhhhh…this really needs to be a thing.

Guess what... Adobe are ignoring their customers. Big surprise. But don’t worry, they will drop Xd like a tonne of bricks soon and come out with an all new, just what customers want, fully featured App to use on a tiny screen. Or did they just start the development process for Xd without any kind of communication with customers, designers and developers?

Being able to adjust paragraph spacing and using soft returns is so basic maybe Adobe are just embarrassed that it isn’t there? That’s why they are keeping quiet.

This is stopping me committing to using XD, it'll be a total pain separating lines of text. I'm surprised there's not more votes for this, it must catch a lot of people out after they start using it.

There's even a line break/soft return here in this comment field:
Wow, would you look at that!

Just porting a project from sketch to XD, to allow for platform independent collaboration. Then I come across this ridiculous oversight, and I almost feel like scrapping the whole thing.

This is so bloody elementary, that it is beyond ridiculous it isn't implemented yet.
This is how ALL the desktop publishing apps do it, this is how it works in HTML, it is how it works in bloody WORD. Heck, even most raw text tools makes a difference between a simple line feed and a carriage return.

It is so basic, it should be counted as a Bug, not a Feature Request.

Bump. This seems like a relatively small feature? Do we have an ETA?

It is quite useless to have paragraph spacing if there is no possibility to make single line breaks

Without Soft Returns (SHIFT + RETURN) having the 'space after' feature in the text box is pretty weak - I appreciate in the real world, text in a responsive website, for example, wouldn't have such a thing (<br> tags aren't great in that use case), but as designers, to sell the sizzle, this would make things easier.

"Space after paragraph" should ignore soft returns.
This is a REALLY old request and no response from Adobe on this basic text formatting feature???
We need to be able to <br> break rows when "Paragraph Spacing" is applied ("space after paragraph" in the big 3 other Adobe apps—AI, PS, Id) is applied without having XD interpret the soft return as a new paragraph <p> and spacing it as such.

We are in the 21st century! Please XD team, add the Shift+Enter soft return option ASAP!!!

We need to go to production this afternoon and the client is nitpicking line and paragraph spacing. Instead of refining animations in these rush hours, I'm manually chopping up text blocks into headlines and paragraphs...

Line breaks pleeeaaase!

XD v23.1.32.2 still doesn't have this. Please add it soon
