word wrap woes
Submitted by jeidsness on Thursday, 19 February, 2004 - 01:39
hello, all. I have upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2pre9 and cannot figure out how to get word wrap working properly.

I'd like it to do a softwrap to whatever size the text pane happens to be. if i set it to soft wrap, with a margin of 0, it doensn't wrap at all. i can put in a specific margin size (50 or whatever) and it wraps, but sometimes i have 2 files open side by side, sometimes only one (not to mention sometimes i make the jedit window smaller/bigger). i'd like it all to wrap automagically.

am i looking in the wrong place?

thanks in advance

This is a rather old question, but I believe this feature was removed from the latest version of jEdit, though for what reason, I cannot tell. From the jEdit 4.2 release notes:

Soft wrapping to the text area width (by setting the wrap width to zero) is no longer supported.

This is my first comment to this forum, so there might be discussion elsewhere concerning the demise of the feature.
