in vim, I can do this ":set" nowrap.(and recover by ":set wrap")
How can I do these actions in emacs?

The function `auto-fill-mode' toggles "word-wrapping" in Emacs.

To enable it for all text based modes, I have

;; ** auto-fill for all text modes
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'auto-fill-mode 1)

in my init file.

There's also refill-mode, which is auto-fill but works automatically
when editing in the middle of a line. It requires double-spacing
between paragraphs, though. Adjacent lines always get slurped up.

Like auto-fill, refill is a toggle. I bound both to function keys so I
can pop them on and off as I write, depending on which is most useful
at that point.
