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
