This request is because word wrap, though not needed for code, is a big help for those of us who find it convenient to view and edit related documentation and other text files in the same editor.

Ideally enabling word wrap might be automatic, that is on by default for a (small) set of specified filetypes. Suggestion: a new Preferences item in the Editor tab, perhaps reading "Enable Word Wrap for Filetypes:" followed by an editable text box with whitespace separated entries such as ".txt .log .doc".

Would be handy. Thanks for considering it ... and for an already great code editor.

I think that is a great suggestion! I will implement it in the same manner as the search tab...I have that as a reusable component. We can have it for the next release (about a month or so).

My philosophy with CodeSlayer is that the base editor should always be lean and features should be applicable across all languages. For everything else we will create plugins for it. I think this request fits in nicely with belonging to the core.

Be sure to write back with any other feedback as well! I love hearing from people and their ideas.

I have this done and on the trunk! For now I tucked the feature on a new Misc. tab in the preferences. At some point I will have to redo the preferences layout so I think this is a good enough place for now.

I am also finished with the first release of the Ctags plugin which puts me way ahead of schedule. So now I just need to finish up the Ctags documentation and will cut a release.
