Subject: Visually filling hard-wrapped paragraphs
Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2024 11:25:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87edc16kd2.fsf@catern.com> (raw)


Is there a way to get hard-wrapped paragraphs to visually reflow based
on the screen width?

Suppose I have a paragraph like:

word word word word word
word word word word

By default, if I narrow my screen width to, say, 22, (with
truncate-partial-width-windows=nil so it doesn't get truncated), it gets
displayed as:

word word word word wo
rd
word word word word

With visual-line-mode, I get:

word word word word
word
word word word word

But what I would like is:

word word word word
word word word word
word

i.e. the paragraph is displayed as if it has been filled to the window
width.

Is this possible?
