VS2012 Text Editor Width

Question

Is it possible to change the width of the text editor in VS2012 - I've got a fairly wide screen and use fairly small text so I end up with a lot wasted real-estate in the middle of my screen.

I don't want to turn off word wrap - I just want the wrap to start further right on the line. If that makes sense!?

Answer 1

You can set this with HTML in Visual Studio 2012 but there is no global setting and it's missing in quite a few languages.

Answer 2

You can just put another "dummy" window next to the one you are writing in, so the actual editor window will be smaller. You can put it on the left if you want to pan the text to the right, and to the right if you want to shorten the lines.
