So to summarise (the default, there may be hidden settings I missed), there are three operations and all three:

• are a form of wrapping to keep lines as long as possible but below a limit
• wrap at word boundaries
• indent

Where they are different is:

• reflow is manually initiated, applies to selection or paragraph, indents to the first line indent, permanently wraps by removing and inserting line ends, and the limit is long line marker or line breaking column.

• line wrapping is automatic, display only ie the buffer is not modified, operates line by line, indents to the previous non-wrap line indent, and the limit is the window width

• line breaking is automatic when typing a character beyond the limit, permanent ie it inserts a line end, applies to the current line only, indents to the current line indent, and the limit is the long line marker or line breaking column.

So what to call them? My suggestions:

• manual wrap or @codebrainz rewrap
• display wrap
• auto wrap

so lets wrap this up 😁
