disable wrapmargin

[Mark Volkmann-2]

A while ago I decided to experiment with wrapmargin. Now I can't
disable it. I don't want lines to wrap automatically. How can I
disable that?

I know that "set wrapmargin=0" isn't the answer.

Hi Mark,

Try these...

:help wrapmargin
:help textwidth

If you are seeing virtual wrapping (instead of actual line reformatting)...

:help wrap

Just to get a complete picture, what are the results of the
following:

        :set wm? wrap? tw? fo? linebreak?

Seeing help on each of those options, as well as the text
described in ":help ins-textwidth" may give you some leads.

Hope this helps you out...

To avoid line wrap

    :set nowrap textwidth=0 wrapmargin=0

To wrap lines at the window edge

    :set wrap nolinebreak textwidth=0 wrapmargin=0

To wrap lines at a space character (without an actual line break)

    :set wrap linebreak

To break lines (insert a hard line break) and make them <= 80

    :set textwidth=80

    (this won't reformat already-existing text)

etc.

See
    :help 'wrap'
    :help 'linebreak'
    :help 'wrapmargin'
    :help 'textwidth'

Best regards,
Tony.
