Custom line width

Open andrioli opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

This is not a bug, is a enhancement proposal.

What you think of, instead of wrap the text in the window edges define a new attribute for the line width?

I always use eclipse showing print margin. This help-me when i'm coding in Java (or other language) to not create a too wide line. If my code exceeds the margin line I now that is better split it into two or more lines with good indentation (for readability).

But when i'm writing a text (in latex with texlipse) the margin line looks very annoying. Other reason is that, I always use the editor window in a full-screen mode (to avoid distractions) and the text line is too big (isn't readable).

I know these seem very personal reasons. But i think that this will be good features (at least for me) :)

Hi Roberto!

Thanks for posting your idea! Activating word-wrap after a certain amount of characters is definitely on my ToDo list but as far as I know this is unfortunately an issue of SWT, i.e. the location where the actual line wrap takes places and the strings are "chopped" into multiple lines. ;-) Nonetheless I will take a look at this feature and try to implement it in the future!

Kind Regards Flo
