Wrap-around mode for the text tool?

I find it kind of odd that you need to make a text box to create text, but the box shapes itself around the text instead of the opposite.

I didn’t find it in the settings or in the docs, but is there a way to make text wrap around a box (preferably the one you initially make with the text tool itself)?

Currently I have to do it myself by putting a paragraph where I want it to break which is very time consuming if I have to slightly change its position.

The current text tool is hard coded to I think 100. Nothing you can do.

If you want, there is LazyTextTool Prototype until a better native text tool is made.

Sorry, no, the current text shape is based on SVG1, which doesn’t support wordwrap. We want to implement SVG2 support, and add wordwrap, but haven’t had time yet. We also want flow into shape, flow along a path, on-canvas editing, vertical text with ruby and a lot more…

(There is nothing “hard-coded to 100”, though…)

It was a vague memory and I was thinking of this doc->setTextWidth(100); but looking closer it is shortly after reset doc->setTextWidth(-1); so yeah…

ah, that’s a bit sad. Thanks for the replies! :slight_smile:
