Let's discuss what control over kerning you'd like to see in XD.

I need ways to adjust kerning in XD. I'm a graphic designer. We hand off these files to developers, and good design is essential. Thanks.

How is this not already a feature?! This is among the most basic functions needed for professionals who work in CS programs.

Whether specific screen designers value kerning and tracking or not, XD is a visual design and prototyping application. Quality control over something as critical as typography is a base level requirement in an app like this. Feels like I am trying to kern in something like wix lol.

I'd love to see the ability to edit kerning/tracking with the alt + arrow keys function. Kerning and tracking an entire website by entering numbers into a box based on different sections of highlighted text is excruciating and ultimately just poor UX.

Kerning is essential. Otherwise you can't get a professional looking headline.

as anon says, Kerning isn't necessary but tracking sure is!

I often use extra letter spacing in headings that are all caps. I'd love to see a letter-spacing value in the Text controls.

I do not consider, that this should get any priority atm. Screen Designers rarely tweek kerning.

Alt + Direction keys to adjust kerning and leading is very useful
