BUT, I don't know a case when it's useful to set line break column and long-line column to different values. As to me, I'd prefer this to be one setting.
Me too. Maybe that's the reason why I never recognized this berfore.
Yes, the defaults are the same so its likely not to notice. But they have different uses.
For code I use long lines set to 100 and no automatic breaking (since it *never* happens in the right place in code :-) ( "100 or so" also happens to be Geany's recommended code line length)
For text (eg Geany.txt) I use line break on at 70 and auto break on, since 70 or so is the recommended maximum text line size for readability. Thats why I would like reflow to go to the same limit. I use it only in text not in code.
Me too.
I think Eugene's suggestion of using line break when auto breaking is on and long line otherwise is a good one. It provides the best of both worlds without much complexity.
Sounds good.
