By the way the command is 'visual-line-mode' instead off 'visual-lines-mode'. I think 'visual-lines-mode' would be better. > Depending on what you want to do, Giorgios's proposal (narrowing) might > do the trick for you (you won't see the "outer" part of the text when > narrowed, though). > > What exactly are you trying to achieve? In the org-document I edit I use tables. I do not want those to be wrapped, because that does look bad. And in longlines-mode it went severall times wrong. And when editing the 'normal' text it would be nice to see the unwrapped tables. By the way I prefer longlines-mode, because this wraps at fill-column instead of at the right window edge.
