I'd like to have soft wraps in the WebStorm editor only by Markdown files. According to Word wrapping in phpstorm this can be achieved only with Menu | View | Active Editor | Use Soft Wraps. I really don't want to have soft wraps by coding, but I don't want to use the menu every time I open an .md file.
Isn't there a way to assign this behavior for example to language or to file type?

A soft return or soft wrap is the break resulting from line wrap or word wrap (whether automatic or manual), whereas a hard return or hard wrap is an intentional break, creating a new paragraph. With a hard return, paragraph-break formatting can (and should) be applied (either indenting or vertical whitespace).
You can enable soft wrap for the editor with ⇧⇧ (macOS), or *Shift+Shift (Windows/Linux), for the Search Everywhere dialogue, and then typing in soft wrap. You can also go to Preferences/Settings > Editor > General to enable Soft Wraps for more file types by default.
Right-click the left gutter and from the context menu, either select or clear the Soft-Wrap Current Editor option. Keep in mind that these settings affect only the current editor, not a file. To quickly access the settings, select Configure Soft Wraps from the list of options.
It's 2019, and users of JetBrains apps now have automatic soft-wraps for Markdown documents - rejoice! 🎉🎊🥳
Alas it is not enabled by default, so you'll need to visit your preferences and check a box: On WebStorm 2019.2 at least, navigate to Editor > General > Soft Wraps and click your way to Markdown-soft-wrap bliss.
