Currently you can use Alt Left/Right to change spacing while in text edit-mode.

However there is no way to adjust this without knowing this shortcut.

We could have a "Kerning" menu with an operator to increase/decrease kerning as well as a reset operator.

Just had a few queries. I added a Panel in the "Paragraph" section to show the kerning of the current character ( visible only in edit mode). I added this in the python file : blender/release/scripts/startup/bl_ui/properties_data_curve .py

This only shows us the kerning of the current character and cannot change it as the python API doesn't have the ability to change it's value. So how should I proceed from this point. I read in the documentation that we can use operators(bpy.ops) or the data access(bpy.data). Is this the right way?

Completing this task involves adding bpy.ops.font.change_spacing to the Font menu along with a new operator that would reset the kerning value to 0. See FONT_OT_change_spacing in C code.

Marking as resolved since it seems to be resolved by d95dbd1f4f ? :)
Feel free to reopen if I am missing something.
