When working with Adobe InDesign it is possible to select how text will be aligned vertically:



I am especially interested in having the text vertically centred and was wondering if this is also possible in Sketch.
I figured, that maybe these controls here are responsible for this, however they are greyed out:



Thank you for your time.

Sketch only allows to vertically center text if they are fixed and do not using the native line-height of the font. This is how you can active the vertical alignment options:


Create a text layer
Change alignment to fixed
Grap the handler at the bottom
Resize the text box, vertical alignment options will be active


For Example:
When styling a button you can now stretch the fixed text area above the background layer, setting contrains to all directions an voi la, you have a full horizontal and vertical flexible button.
