Edit UMG text right where you see it.

Adjust a menu label, rewrite a button, or work through a paragraph without leaving your layout. Inline Text Widgets adds five familiar UMG text widgets with direct text editing on the Widget Designer canvas.

Double-click an Inline widget, or select it and press F2. Type your text, see it in context, and press Enter to apply.

Inline · Multiline · Justify

• Edit on the canvas: work inside the selected widget while your layout stays visible.

• Five familiar widgets: display text, editable text and text boxes, with single-line and multi-line options.

• Multi-line editing: use Shift+Enter for a line break and Enter to apply.

• Keep your text alignment: work with the widgets' native left, center and right justification settings.

• Undo and redo: applied text changes use the editor's transaction system.

• Native runtime behavior: the widgets inherit from the matching Unreal Engine text classes.

Included widgets

• Inline Text Block — TextBlock

• Inline Editable Text — EditableText

• Inline Editable Text (Multi-Line) — MultiLineEditableText

• Inline Text Box — EditableTextBox

• Inline Text Box (Multi-Line) — MultiLineEditableTextBox

Find all five in the INLINE TEXT category of the UMG palette.

Start in three steps

1. Install and enable Inline Text Widgets, then open a Widget Blueprint.

2. Add a widget from INLINE TEXT and double-click it, or select it and press F2.

3. Edit the text. Enter or clicking away applies; Esc cancels the pending edit. Shift+Enter adds a new line in multi-line editing.

Before you buy

• Built for Unreal Engine 5.7 and 5.8. Tested on Windows (Win64) and macOS (Apple Silicon).

• This product adds new widget classes. Existing engine widgets are not automatically converted.

• In-place editing is a Designer feature. Inline Text Block remains display-only during gameplay; editable variants retain their native input behavior.

• Includes one Runtime module and one Editor module, with C++ source. Projects using Inline widget classes must retain the runtime plugin.

• Text linked to a String Table is protected from literal editing. Use Unreal's String Table controls to change the binding.

• RichTextBlock is not included in the five Inline widget classes.

Works together

Inline Text Widgets is a standalone plugin. The companion tools in this series serve different workflows: UMG Text Quick Edit provides free popup editing for existing engine widgets, and Easy String Binding brings String Table binding onto the canvas. Neither companion plugin is required or included.
