Textbox tricks


Recommended Posts

Every single one of the eight textbox handles is about scaling. However, distorting letter shapes is not what is needed most when working with typography. So I think the textbox handles should be beefed up with some additional trickery:

 

1) alt-drag a horizontal handle to change the letter spacing

2) alt-drag a vertical handle to change the line spacing

 

The shortcuts would work on both textbox types. Art textboxes wouldn’t even require the alt key but for coherence’s sake its probably better to stick with one way.
