Bug ID: 499316
Summary: Dynamic wrap at character limit
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 24.12.1
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
When using Dynamic Word Wrap, text wraps once it reaches the edge of the
document width view. With "Word wrap at fixed column", it hard wraps at the
specified value.
What I'd love to have is the combination of both, where dynamic word wrap will
wrap at a set value, instead of the width of the editor document/view. I can
force this by having a second document in split mode, to force the view of the
document I'm editing to shrink to the desired wrap width, but that feels super
clunky.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable dynamic word wrap
2. Set Wrap Words at 82 characters, and enable Draw Vertical Line to make
things easier to spot
3. Open a document and start typing
OBSERVED RESULT
The line will only soft wrap once it reaches the edge of the screen,
potentially well past the word wrap character limit / column line.
EXPECTED RESULT
I'd like it to soft-wrap at the word wrap character.
This allows to constrain the width of the text of the editor, without
introducing hard wraps. Hard wraps make text hard to reflow which can cause
frustration when reading text for people with visual impairments, as 80
characters at 12pt takes up a different amount of horizontal space than 80
characters at 16pt.
