This module adds a minor-mode +word-wrap-mode
, which intelligently wraps long
lines in the buffer without modifying the buffer content.
Wrapped lines will be indented to match the preceding line. In code buffers,
lines which are not inside a string or comment will have extra indentation as
determined by +word-wrap-extra-indent
. The default is to increase the indent
by twice the major-mode indent.
The +word-wrap-extra-indent
variable supports the following values:
double
: indent by twice the major-mode indentationsingle
: indent by the major-mode indentation- a positive integer: indent by this fixed amount
- a negative integer: dedent by this fixed amount
nil
: no extra indent
This module also includes a global minor-mode +global-word-wrap-mode
to
automatically enable wrapping in most buffers. Wrapping will not be enabled in
buffers whose major mode is marked “special”, or are listed in
+word-wrap-disabled-modes
.
The +word-wrap-text-modes
variable lists modes which shouldn’t have any extra
indentation, regardless of the +word-wrap-extra-indent
setting. This is useful
for modes which are primarily text, such as text-mode
and markdown-mode
.
The +word-wrap-visual-modes
variable lists modes which should only enable
visual-line-mode
and not provide any prefix indentation. This is useful for
modes like org-mode
which handle prefix indentation themselves.
This module provides no flags.
Word wrapping is not enabled by default.
Wrapping can be toggled in the current buffer with M-x +word-wrap-mode
. The
default doom bindings bind this to SPC t w
for evil
users.
To enable wrapping in a specific mode, add it to the appropriate hook in your
config.el
:
;; enable word-wrap in C/C++/ObjC/Java
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook #'+word-wrap-mode)
To customize the behaviour in a specific mode:
;; use a single indent in json-mode
(add-hook! 'json-mode-hook
(setq-local +word-wrap-extra-indent 'single)
(+word-wrap-mode +1))
To turn on word wrapping (almost) everywhere:
;; enable word-wrap (almost) everywhere
(+global-word-wrap-mode +1)
To disable global word-wrapping in a specific mode:
;; disable global word-wrap in emacs-lisp-mode
(add-to-list '+word-wrap-disabled-modes 'emacs-lisp-mode)
