Subject: Why is there no M-x word-wrap?
Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:28:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FCE41B9.5020500@dogan.se> (raw)
As I understand it, the right way to turn on so called word wrapping in
Emacs is by doing (setq word-wrap t). This isn't very user-friendly in
my opinion.
Why is there no command named `word-wrap' which toggles this mode? It
can really throw newbies off telling them to do M-: (setq word-wrap t)
and if that's not enough, I find it kind of annoying myself.
Deniz
