Word wrap

[schollz]

Would it be possible to add word-wrap?

Either as a plugin or as a built-in that is enabled in the config.

Yeah this has been something that has proven tricky to implement. I'll close this as a duplicate of #25 because they are pretty much the same.

[schollz]

@zyedidia Thanks for doing #25, but would it still be possible to do a word wrap? I.e. add a linebreak when a whole word gets wrapped. In vim it would be

:set wrap
:set linebreak

[zyedidia]

Oh, I see. I'll reopen.

I'd also benefit from this enhancement. I write a lot of markdown documents that are harder for me to follow when softwrap splits words in the middle.

Another thing I would like to ask of this is that the newline that gets generated by a softbreak inherits the identation of its parent line.

I would love to have this feature, mostly because I want to write a novel George R. R. Martin style. Also to have the ability to have it return at a certain character in like 80 characters, or 60 characters, or whatever I like.

I love the idea of being able to use micro as a word processor with pandoc markdown.

Crucial to edit markdown

Also important for writing commit messages.

I would also definitely love to use micro for writing in Markdown but the inability to word wrap and the lack of a limit on the editor screen width make it difficult!

@lowercasename are you able to get it to softwrap at all? I can't.
