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

What is going on with this? No line breaks after years of development? No response from the XD team?

I thought this software was supposed to to be tailored to web UI's which will commonly use both <br> and <p> to layout text.

Corey Lucier,
resizing the text box works with a single text box, but as soon as you start working with components and repeat grid, which is arguably the whole point of using Xd over another program, you CAN'T resize the text box to adjust one item without changing ALL of the text boxes in the grid. We need a soft return. This is such a basic feature I can't believe it wasn't in as of day 1.

Yep. This is my first hour seriously using XD, and this is the first critical feature I've encountered that's missing.

If there are two or more columns of comparison content and you want to keep items aligned, it's useful to have a soft-return when one item wraps and the other doesn't.

To illustrate this ticket.
I use Windows 10 Pro.
As long as I have the text field selected, you can see the line break.
If i stop editing the text field, the line break also gets a text break.
