Keyboard shortcut to change line spacing

It would work like in Illustrator: Select all text - press alt and either up or down arrows to increase or decrease the spacing. That is assuming there isn't shortcut keys already?

I use the keyboard for manipulating letter and line spacing, and font size in Illustrator and InDesign. I’m surprised that these are not available in XD. They’re not serving any function as near as I can tell.

Text edit keyboard shortcuts for line spacing and character spacing similar to how its done in photoshop would be so helpful

Thanks

We really need shortcuts for letter-spacing and lineheight as we are used to in Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator always using alt+arrowkeys there

We need shortcuts for kerning / tracking as well. Currently there is A LOT of friction for spacing out letters and adjusting line lengths. If the XD ethos is "less friction", why don't we have shortcuts for typography??

Adding these shortcuts will greatly increase productivity. I can feel the minutes/hours being wasted every time I have to mouse over to the leading option.

Having the same keyboard shortcuts in XD as in Illustrator would be great!

I REALLY want to adopt Adobe XD, but I am a power user. I use ALL of the shortcuts I can to manipulate things without having to interact with panels.

It is really frustrating that NONE of the text manipulation shortcuts are present.

I know you guys are building this from scratch, but honestly I can't adopt this until I can work quickly and efficiently.

And for font size... and for kerning and letter spacing... pretty much need keyboard shortcuts to drive all type attributes.
