💡Feature Idea: Vertical Alignment for Text in Shapes and Notes

HendryS

Hi,

It would be great if I could align texts in shapes and note vertically. I do alot of diagramming for systems and data flow, and use shapes as containers of other shapes. At the moment I can add text or title, but it's a hassle. Especially when I need to adjust the size, I have to ungroup.

Thanks

just having basic, left, centre, right alignment options for text would be a massive help.

HendryS

Aren't those already available?

@HendryS what you show is horizontal alignment.

What MURAL is missing is vertical alignment, which is very useful to anyone creating technical design diagrams where shape elements have names and inner elements. Sometimes we need to place the element names top, center, or bottom.

For comparison, here's the text alignment option in the Miro.com tool (has both horizontal and vertical):

@pmerson Oh yeah, I want those :-)

Yes yes yes! To vertical text alignment! Another Miro user here.

I need to be able to align Text at the Top or Bottom of a shape. Currently I need a box and a text item, aligned and grouped. The moment I need to change the shape, I have to ungroup, re-align, re-group - too much work!

I can't understand this isn't supported 😲

Coming from Miro this is a huge letdown

+1 on adding vertical alignment!

This is sort of a super-basic table stakes feature... isn't it?

Hi guys at Mural,

Did I get it correctly that this subject is celebrating 1 year old?

I just stop by to send the same feature request and came across this post. This is one of those quick win features ( in the upper left corner quadrant), delivering high value with small effort. Why not developing it? This should not be even "open for voting".

To be clear: Based on the image below, the feature would be an option to align by top, middle or bottom in addition to the horizontal ones (left, center and right)

Thank you,

ron

Keeping this thread alive. Mural is really behind the curve. Would not use this tool if I didn't have to.

Such a basic feature I use literally in any board I create in Miro.

I see and hear you, @Romolux, @ron, @BFe! 👀

I'll do what I can to see where we are on this feature.

Hi, thank you all for your feedback and comments. I wanted to let you know that we'll be starting to work on vertical text alignment soon.

If we could generate some traction on this, I seen the request came over a year ago. Of course not every request gets pushed through. Spending some time in Word and Autocad would leap this software ahead IMO. so please, text align top and bottom.

Arrived here because I was trying to find how to align text top/bottom. This would be great, thought it was a pretty basic need for any box that supports text.

still nothing?

looks like an easy function to implement right?

Basic feature but very important. Now I have to draw shapes then draw a textbox inside it and group them to be able to do what I want.

Guys at Mural please pay attention.

I just encountered this need for a large mural I was working on :(

Any updates on vertical alignment?
