Where's the wrap-to-window option?
Submitted by andrewee on Saturday, 14 January, 2006 - 01:40
Where's the wrap-to-window option? I don't want jedit to wrap to a specified width (e.g. 80 characters); I want it to wrap to the editing window, but Utilities/Global Options/Editing doesn't give me that option, and I don't see the option anywhere else.

you can read that this functionality has been removed, and I tried it in my jedit 4.2 and it actually doesn't work neither for soft nor for hard wrap.
I want wrapping to work properly

What's the difference between soft-wrap and hard-wrap? Neither wrapping method works properly for me. The text is truncated and I can't scroll to the bottom of the file! The buffer won't display the whole file. What can I do??? I don't want to keep having to switch between notepad and jEdit just to use word-wrapping. What a pain. Please fix this problem.
 
soft and hard wrap

I don't understand exactly what happens with your file, but: soft wrap wraps each line only 'visually', while hard wrap inserts real line separators.
If you want to hard wrap an existing file, you can select all the text, and then from the menu: edit, text, format paragraph.
This will apply hard wrap, while that's not needed for soft wrap. Note also that jedit wraps text basing on words.
