Is there an equivalent to the fill-column
variable for the "Wrap" mode (visual-line-mode
) in Emacs? If not, how could I set a limit on the length of visual lines when the window/frame of the buffer is wider ?
In response to this question I created a minor mode called window-margin that accomplishes what @Stefan suggested in his answer.
Turn on window-margin-mode
with:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-window-margin-mode)
The way you can still do it without installing window-margin is to use the longlines-mode
that ships with Emacs, but is being phased out since there are some problems with longlines-mode, but here's the old way to do it if you want:
Turn on longlines-mode
with something like:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'longlines-mode)
which wraps text at the fill-column
.
longlines-mode
has been removed. For visual-line-mode
, the simplest way is to make the window as narrow as you want it to be. You can do that with C-x 3
and then adjusting the size of the window. Or you can set a wide margin or wide fringes.
