Vscode does an autowrap maintaining the indent. So you can have it at any number.
I don’t get the 80 char width fanatics. I like long lines. I want my editor to format it based on my screen width.
80 breaks my flow.
- marssaxman 8y agoThat's great if you are working alone or on a team where everyone agrees on the same editor with the same auto-wrap feature. In a mixed environment, writing code that is only readable if people choose the same tools you prefer can be a bit rude.
- rhn_mk1 8y agoThat cuts both ways. The most comfortable combo of a display and font size leaves me at 70 characters per line, making anything more wrap awkwardly. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that XX-chars limit only works if everyone else has tools that work best with XX.
- u801e 8y agoMIME has the format=flowed option that would handle auto-wrapping text at the display width. But it requires leaving a trailing whitespace character at the end of each line that you don't want to hard-wrap (which wouldn't work well with most code linters without changing their configuration).
- gowld 8y agoNo, if you don't hard-wrap inside lines, then each person can use their own editor with auto-soft-wrap they like.
