fill-paragraph in real-time?

fill-paragraph in real-time?

[pascaldamian2]

Can emacs be set to do fill-paragraph in real-time? Or something
equivalent that lets it wrap text as I type. Normally I need to
manually press M-q from time to time, otherwise my typing would not
get wrapped at all.

Regards,
Pascal

Have you tried auto-fill-mode? This lets you do exactly what you are
looking for.

See:

for additional details.

Since AutoFillMode doesn't fill the paragraph anew when deleting text,
`refill-mode' is more appropriate.

,----[ C-h f refill-mode RET ] 
| refill-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `refill.el'.
| (refill-mode &optional ARG)
| 
| Toggle Refill minor mode.
| With prefix arg, turn Refill mode on iff arg is positive.
| 
| When Refill mode is on, the current paragraph will be formatted when
| changes are made within it.  Self-inserting characters only cause
| refilling if they would cause auto-filling.
