How does this help? You can't have a non-wrapped line without an ugly hack from the link. > preserves that indentation ... I do not want So turn it off!

I do need the tabulation to be preserved for various lists I create in plain text (ideally with a way to maintain the '-' or numeric prefix). I also need a convenient way to temporarily "hide" long lines without losing reading position (TextEdit moves the caret to the beginning of the window on changing the wrapping option) for a shorter "summary" view. A more visible non-flashing caret would also be nice (at least the flash is configurable via a hidden config) These are primitive affordances for plain (not code) text editing. Of course, there are non-primitive ones like multiple cursors, proper search etc. > I don't see the $99 price tag (or pop-ups to purchase) worth it. So pick a different text editor without a nag! You're positioning fixable annoyances as total blockers while ignoring unfixable annoyances in the primitive system app.
