How to word wrap text in micro?

[ghost]

Is there a way to word wrap text in micro like I could easily do it in vim ?

[deadnews]

Ctrl-e and type set softwrap on

You might also want to enable the wordwrap option: set wordwrap on.

@zyedidia
how do i enable the option for everytime i launch micro

[zyedidia]

You can put

{
    "wordwrap": true,
    "softwrap": true
}

In your ~/.config/micro/settings.json file.

Is there also a way to wrap at a specific column, like 100 chars, and not just by window size?

It is possible to bind this to a keybinding? VSCode seems to use alt-z to toggle wrapping, so I tried to recreate that by setting it on by default, and making Alt+z turn it off. There is however no effect from my keybinding:

{
    "Alt-z": "set softwrap off, set wordwrap off",
    "softwrap": true,
    "wordwrap": true
}

that should be in ~/.config/micro/bindings.json not in settings.json

That is a good first start xD
The next problem is then that the action does not exist:

Also, there is no match for "wrap" on that page. Perhaps it is just not an option?

[aurkaxi]

"Alt-z": "command:set wordwrap off,command:set softwrap off"
only problem is, you will need another keybind to turn it on.

i use "z" for turning on, "Z" for turning off.

With the following lines in my .config/micro/bindings.json:

{
    "Alt-z": "command:set wordwrap off,command:set softwrap off",
    "Alt-Z": "command:set wordwrap on,command:set softwrap on",
}

I am getting exactly the wanted behavior. Thank you so much!!
