currently missing in the Properties Panel Text Gap i looked thoroughly and could not find it. sory if i missed it it would make changing dimension on the fly easier. otherwise i have to switch to the dimension settings just for this.

when changing the Dimensions i usually want this to be the global setting, currently it is pretty fiddly to change it. it might make a usefull addition when added as a button for example, in this area which is pretty empty.
