It is really not very simple to do automatic line breaking sensibly in source code, it is better that you break that yourself.
For pure text files it might be possible to break a line if a word crosses a limit, but it isn't as useful as it sounds, what about a paragraph where you add a word to a line in the middle and make the line too long? Then the next line has only one word on it, yuk :-)
I agree.
I find that just pressing Ctrl-J now and again handles most cases.
Also there is the option Line break on documents menu you could activate.
I'm confused. I'm saying I turn on this option every time, and I'd like the choice of Geany turning on this option for me. I don't know what Ctrl-J does, and I don't mind one word going to the next line. When I open my source on another computer, I don't necessarily want to maximize the window to see those one words. I'm not arguing; I'm just not sure if I made myself clear because your replies sound like something much more complex than automatically activating the line break option (instead of going to the Document menu with every document). Automatically turning on line breaking is nice for coding, but automatically turning on line breaking would be even nicer b/c the source will look the same as it did when programming. thanks for your replies
Oh. It really seems at least I did misunderstand you. ;) However, I think this could be added (read: somebody have to do it), but wondering whether it would cause more issue to have this always on? My suggestion is to add another keybinding which is toggling this function.
