At least a control button wrap/unwrap in the toolbar would be a great feature, whatever is the fate of the wrapping indentation request. ... or a direct keyboard shortcut hscwftic (hope some coder will find this idea cool :) )

Imagine "_" being a space character, the current wrapping works like this ____hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello It would be better if it worked like this: ____hello hello hello hello hello ____hello hello hello While editing this makes code-indentation readable even if the editing window is resized to be very narrow. It is also very helpful for unavoidable long lines, like regexps or URLs. It makes formatting less of a pain with generated code. etc etc etc KDE editor component and Eclipse both have this behaviour, it was also present in the famous EditPlus editor for Windows. I am sure i am not the first person requesting this feature, so i wonder if there is a philosophical stance against this wrapping style or if a plugin is available to handle it.
