If "Hard wrap at # columns" means "add a text newline to the file for text at # columns or later regardless of whether the text is being typed or pasted", then that setting makes sense. either way doesn't make sense or has a misnomer. The "Wrap on typing" checkbox muddies this, making me think that's when the hard wrap happens, or the hard wrap of the previous setting only happens for text that you're typing (not pasting).

So having "Hard wrap at 80 columns" I would expect the editor to add a newline where the wrap line is for the text regardless of whether the text was typed at the time or pasted. Hard wrap literally adds a text newline to the file upon save where the wrap line is. However, the "Wrap on typing" checkbox after the "Hard wrap at # columns" is where JetBrains is confusing hard wrap is not an optional thing where you choose whether it's soft wrap or not.

HTML / PHP) the hard wrap is used to decide when it's time to split the long line into smaller pieces so they fit the desired line length. Exactly the same will be present in a plain text file, just no syntax highlighting. Soft wrapping in action (html file) - the line gets wrapped on the viewport notice the big empty space between the line numbers in the gutter and extra symbols at the end and at the start of the soft-wrapped line (configurable as well as left side alignment). The text below was wrapped automatically on typing (file named "text.txt"): The "Hard wrap guide" seems misnamed, because it doesn't actually cause newlines to be added to the file, and it certainly isn't wrapping anything at all in my text by default (hard or soft). hard wrap is when newlines are added to the file (which will be saved to the file) when the text hits some wall like the viewport edge or a style guide marker, and soft wrap is when it just adds newlines to the text at those points but doesn't save them to the file.

Unless you code it all via custom plugin (where you code all that) of course. since you cannot create Code Style entry for it.

I mean, Notepad on Windows does soft wrap, word wrap, but of course I just resize the window, but I don't want to be resizing the PHPStorm window for the random text file I need to muss around with or save or delete etc. So, I need some solution for notes and scratches, regardless of where I've added them (within the project file tree or within the Scratches file tree or within a Favorites bookmark file tree), because I need a plain text editor for many different things such as log file chunk perusing, or editing some error output from like a website response to make it readable for someone else, or things like that (I'm sure you can imagine but I don't expect you to). txt as its own file type in the editor so that I somehow get more power with it?Īlso, I'm not sure if JetBrains is mixing or misunderstanding hard wrap and soft wrap hard wrap is when newlines are added to the file (which will be saved to the file) when the text hits some wall like the viewport edge or a style guide marker, and soft wrap is when it just adds newlines to the text at those points but doesn't save them to the file. whatever on my notes and scratches? Regardless of the file extension, I need basic plain text editing features like word wrap. txt files are treated like "Other File Types", even though it's maybe the most well-known, then how is it different than having file extension. txt for notes and scratches for a while now, and the reason is because PHPStorm is better than my other editors at just letting me fuss around with plain text (TextMate is good but not as much). So, this is a problem because I've been using. There is no Code Style for TXT files: "Other File Types" will be used for them, which has only the basic indentation settings
