term inside emacs:: how to turn "word wrap" off

Question

In setting up my personal Linux command line development environment, I want to use term inside emacs b/c then I can switch to 'line mode' and copy/paste the output into any other buffer.

However, when I run mysql inside term inside emacs, the pretty sql tables still word wrap according to the width of that emacs window :(. I was hoping that emacs would truncate the bash output.

Is there a way to do this?

EDIT:

toggle-truncate-lines is on, so "word wrap" is off, but the problem is that before emacs even does anything with the text, the underlying bash process itself manually adds newlines to wrap text according to the width it's told it's using. That's at least how it acts. toggling truncate lines on/off doesn't change anything for me in the term buffer

Answer 1

I think what you probably want is "M-x toggle-truncate-lines". That toggles between wrapping or requiring you to scroll right and left to see the entire line.
