Wrapping long lines

[sparrisable]

Is it possible to wrap long lines in helix? (something like "Toggle Word Wrap Alt+Z editor.action.toggleWordWrap" in Visual Studio Code)
If not, I would use such a feature if you decide to add it.

Kind of cool but kakoune wraps text by piping to the Unix fmt utility: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/wiki/Wrapping#semi-automatically-breaking-lines-at-a-fixed-width

I think we can implement it as a native command. It should support detecting and wrapping comments correctly.

This is talking about hard wrapping, not soft wrapping (issue #136 already exists for that), right? It's not immediately clear to me from the description.

I realize now that I actually mean soft wrapping but I did not realize that there where already an issue for that, sorry.
I am happy to see that issue #136 already exists, sorry for the confusion.

@sparrisable: no worries! I'll close this as duplicate then.

I think I'll open another issue for a "hard-wrap selected text" feature, though. Because I think that would also be useful, and is a lot smaller-scope than soft wrapping.

Here's the new issue for hard-wrapping: #625
