Scrolling, not wrapping, of lines that do not fit screen.
- Spivak 9y agoI would argue that scrolling is the sanest default for systems administration since text files are usually formatted to a fixed width and are sensitive to line breaks.
- fpoling 9y agoYet try to edit with horizontal scrolling XML or JSON file written without line-breaks. Or perhaps some other config files written on assumption that a terminal window will always be maximized and get at least 200 character width. In my opinion an editor for system administration should try to show as much information as possible by default and horizontal scrolling is an opposite of that.
