Question

is there any way to set word-wrap for all new/existing files should be in word-wrapping.

i need to set by default all the file in word-wrapping like notepadd++.

Answer 1

Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Use soft wraps in editor -- this setting affects all files.

You can disable or enable this option on per file basis (until it's closed) via View | Active Editor | Use Soft Wraps

More recent version (compared to the versions available when this question was answered) also have these options available in the Editor's gutter menu (right click in the area where the line numbers/breakpoints/etc are).

P.S.

Settings screen has very nice feature -- quick search box (top left corner) -- it does wonders. It allows you to quickly narrow the search scope of the specific setting by it's name (keyword).

You can also use "Search anywhere" (Shift two times) as well as "Find Action" (Help | Find Action... Ctrl + Shift + A) to search for individual settings.

Webstorm 9.0.3 Evaluation version on Windows 7:

I know I'm a bit late coming here, but if like me, you find that there's no "Use soft wraps in editor" option when you look in Settings>Editor>, i just discovered you can apply 'soft wrap' to individual files:

• Open the file,
• Left click the left margin (where the line numbers are),
• You'll see "Use Soft Wraps" as an option you can turn on.

It's not quite what I wanted (change settings to apply to all files), but it's something.
