 3 | =================
 4 | 
 5 | Properly align text layers regardless of their rectangle box in Sketch
 6 | 
 7 | ![demo][demo-image]
 8 | 
 9 | 
10 | # Motivation
11 | 
12 | Because Sketch v3.x still has less than ideal support for font-size and line-height, especially when you are dealing with CJK language (Some say it's a limit of OSX). This plugin allow you to align text as imagined, ignoring those incorrectly calculated text rectangles.
13 | 
14 | This plugin has been tested on Sketch v3.2 and v3.3 beta
15 | 
16 | 
17 | # Install
18 | 
19 | 1. Download ZIP of this repo.
20 | 2. Extract and rename folder to suit your taste.
21 | 3. Put the folder in your Sketch plugin folder (Use `Plugins>Reveal Plugins Folder` to find it).
22 | 
23 | Folder name and plugin filename will show up as items in Sketch `Plugins` menu.
24 | 
25 | 
26 | # Usage
27 | 
28 | 1. Select multiple text layers.
29 | 2. `Alt + Cmd + L` or use `Plugins` menu.
30 | 3. Follow the dialog prompt.
31 | 
32 | 
33 | # Note
34 | 
35 | This plugin does not fix multiline text layer or weird padding issues, it makes aligning multiple text layers much easier instead (so you can avoid wordwrap in Sketch).
