Disable word wrap in VS Code

Question

I have the following settings in VS code to disable word wrap

  "editor.wordWrap": "off",
  "editor.wordWrapColumn": -1

Word wrap is still not turned off. This makes VS Code really unfriendly to use on my laptop with a small screen.

Is there some additional setting I can use?

I am on 1.17.1.

Are you using markdown? vscode changes some default settings:

"[markdown]": {
    "editor.wordWrap": "off"
}
