It is on one line. But if you want it to not wrap, you can:

  1. Open Settings View using Cmd+, on macOS or Ctrl+, on other platforms
  2. Click the Editor tab on the left
  3. Uncheck “Soft Wrap”

not working.

#4

That setting only affects new editors. You can use my soft-wrap-indicator package to easily toggle the setting for the currently open editor.

#5

I forgot to mention
"Soft Wrap" is uncheck by default.

#6

worked perfectly until the yesterday update.

#7

Soft wrap is forcibly turned on for files with long lines, to avoid hangs when attempting to load or edit the file.

#8

ok. how do i stop this?

#9

I don’t think you can, short of building Atom yourself. The value is hardcoded.

#10

noooooo
noo
now i have to find another editor
:sob:

#11

I second the “now I have to use another browser”. :tired_face:

MAX_SCREEN_LINE_LENGTH = 500

Not the end of the world, just inconvenient and unexpected.

30 mins ago everything was on one line. I clicked soft wrap to take a look at something and now it will only toggle between hard and soft wrap. For me, atom has been working on no wrap for over a year. Im using atom with Nuclide.

This really should be a setting since hard coded value is not a good idea and is annoying to new users since the setting appears to not work.

#14

For others who have followed the above without success, in my case I wanted to specifically disable the default soft wrap for markdown documents. I believe the settings for those languages were overriding the “core” -> “editor” -> “softWrap” settings. So I explicitly overrode those and the defaults now work. You can see how to do this by looking at: Soft wrap support, but only for Markdown?

#15

I should clarify that the reason why the advice above wasn’t working for me is because it suggested overriding the “core.editor” settings, which I did, but in my case but the problem was that a more specific language setting was overriding my override. So the solution was to do an override to the override.
