Does jEdit have a “soft” wrap text mode?
jEdit’s 4.3’s soft wrap mode, and especially its wrap to margin=0, is one of its many features that just works better than it does in most other editing environments. Soft Wrap with margin=0 was unavailable in jEdit 4.2, but users of 4.1 will remember it well. When you set SOFT WRAP with a margin=0, you don’t need to use the horizontal scroller anymore. It’s just as simple as that. jEdit wrap capability can be activated for a specific buffer, specific editing modes, or for all documents by default. In prior versions, both the text wrap feature and the Edit>Text>Format Paragraph command insert “hard” end of line characters. This “hard wrap” feature remains available as an option for buffers and editing modes.
