I wasn't aware it was controversial to use an IDE without word-wrap. I do not have it enabled on any of my editors.
- reaperducer 7y ago"Enabled" is one thing. But it should be available. In HN's code blocks, it's not even an option.
- baby 7y agoHow do you read code from codebases that don’t respect the arbitrary column limit?
- ilikehurdles 7y agoTo be honest, I don't often read such code, or I try to run it through a formatter prior to reading. I guess I should have said that I _generally_ don't have soft wraps enabled. Sometimes I just have to plug my nose and soft-wrap.
- loeg 7y agoI am flexible about how wide my editor is. Pretty much all code I read bounds itself to some sort of limit around 80-120 characters. If there are a few individual lines that exceed the current editor width, I can scroll. I don't have to work with any codebases that have ridiculously long lines.
- kelnos 7y agoI just suck it up and scroll like a normal person.
