bug#4172: 23.1; longlines-wrap-follows-window-size

[Henrik Grotjahn]

--text follows this line--

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing  
list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Feature request: Is it possible, to implement the variable "longlines- 
wrap-follows-window-size", known from longlines.el (or something  
similar) into the "Visual Line Mode" from Emacs 23? Then, as far as I  
see from a users perspective, longlines.el could be removed from  
Emacs, since "Visual Line Mode" could then do the whole job.

TIA

Henrik

You mean to allow the wrapping to be done at some other column than
"window-width"?

	Isn’t it already possible to achieve this via right-margin-width
	(available since 21.1)?  Say:

M-: (progn (setq-local right-margin-width 13)
           (set-window-buffer nil (current-buffer))) RET

	Unless there’d be objections, I intend to close this bug.

There were no objections in six years, so I'm closing this bug report
now.
