There are a lot of people who use Scratch as a medium for their works, to get feedback, advice, and appreciation. Writers on Scratch have a community, but the Scratch Editor makes that incredibly difficult.
My suggestion is that there could be another mode for the Scratch Editor, like Vector and Bitmap, that would take notes from platforms like Google Docs and Microsoft Word and have things like italics, bold, underline, and please automatically changing to the next line. It really is such a pain to go back and click the “Enter” key every time you run out of space in the window. And then to have to do it all over again if you change anything. By adding another mode to the Scratch Editor, people who use it for art and games and such still have access to the same tools as always, with no automatic editing that could potentially serve as a detriment to their costume. This way, it's a sort of compromise between Scratchers who use the platform for different things.
The new mode would (hopefully) have features like italics, bold, underline, stroke, automatically changing to the next line, align left, align center, align right, font size, and tab (indentation). These are all important tools to an author, just as fill, gradient, pen, erase, reshape, select, circle, rectangle, and line are to artists and gamers/coders.
With this modification to Scratch's Editor, hopefully more people will be able to grow as writers and continue to produce great works.
An alternative to the new mode would be simply adding these tools to the current text tool editor, which could also work.
Thank you!

FULL SUPPORT.

As a writer on Scratch I understand the struggle.

I usually just write in the Instructions or the Notes & Credits of a project.

Do you have a specific way you want it to be? I suggest including a picture of how you'd like it to be, in your post.

Yes, yes, yes and more yes. While it would be an… ‘okay’… alternative to move writing to the forums, projects are projects, and forums are forums. The cut and paste feature would help so much - all this time, I've been typing up 3,000+ words when a cut and paste feature would make things so much easier. And, well, everything else you said is just another “yes pleaaaase.”

I'm not a writer, But i would love this feature. Although i don't think another mode is needed for this feature, I think it would work well just adding these to the normal text tool.

I agree. Support!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. Please.

Good idea, but it doesn't need to be a new mode. Instead they could improve the text editors in the costume editor.

I agree, and I've edited the original post to reflect your views. I think that as long as something gets changed in relation to the writing tool(s), the writers of Scratch will be happier.

Support! also, I find it kinda annoying how when you try to type a lot of words in Scratch Vector it gets really slow (at least in 2.0, I haven't tested it out in 3.0 so I may be mistaken)

Yes! That's true!
