Hi Tony vim of course can wrap lines as you type them and 'wrap' is default on..
However, my question concerns the case of when you revisit an already entered line and you *extend* this line, then it does not auto reformat. I was using nono (as I often do for simple emails) and experienced a flash of envy. That prompted me to revisit this topic. (nano does not reformat when you *shorten* a line). -- - Eric Smith Tony Mechelynck said: > On 11/11/11 13:08, Eric Smith wrote: > >I know that vim does not rewrap lines as you extend them like > >many other editors. > > > >What I was wondering is what makes this so difficult to implement in > >vim and could it ever be implemented? > > > >(Sorry to ask) > > > > It was already implemented when I met Vim, which was at release 6.1 > then.
