A Vim plugin to help navigate through long soft-wrapped lines.
Use your favorite plugin manager or install as a Vim package (see :help packages).
After installing the plugin, use :LongLines to toggle the longline
mode and :LongLines! to turn it off. It's also possible to
automatically enable the longline mode for certain filetypes by using an
autocommand:
" Enable the longlines plugin for TeX and MediaWiki files.
autocmd FileType mediawiki,tex LongLinesWhen the longline mode is on, motion commands such as j, k, gg,
G, etc., work on display lines rather than actual lines. Although the
longline mode replicates most commands reasonably well, some mappings
(e.g., dd, V, etc.) don't work very well, and scrolling moves the
cursor.
When the longline mode is on, text is not hardwrapped by default and
options that enable automatic hardwrapping of text (e.g., Vim's default
fo=tcq) are altered to prevent this. If you wish to keep these
options unaltered, set the global variable g:longlines_keep_opts or
the buffer variable b:longlines_keep_opts to a nonzero value:
let g:longlines_keep_opts = 1Similarly, when the longline mode is on, all motions commands are
remapped to work on display lines, even when user-defined maps exist.
If you wish to preserve already existing mappings, set the global
variable g:longlines_keep_maps or the buffer variable
b:longlines_keep_maps to a nonzero value:
let g:longlines_keep_maps = 1To always enable the longline mode, set the global variable
g:longlines_always_enable to a nonzero value:
let g:longlines_always_enable = 1Public domain. See the file UNLICENSE for more details.
