When I saw this, I felt somewhat and also , because I really liked that this view did not wrap! I have some files that have fairly long data lines and using this feature, I was better able to see how the text on adjacent/close lines related to each other or not, but now one line of data takes a good part of window...If I wanted wrap, then I'd use Raw View, but that method does not allow me to select text and copy it.

So...Ideally, I'd like an option on the panel that allows one to select wrap or not that would remain set on/off as "wrap" on Raw View does so I could set it and forget it, yet switch easily if I wanted to.

If not, then have some way for user to decide which style they prefer as I'd certainly pick no-wrap!

Dead sure that somebody would come up with this...

Of course, I tried to make it user selectable on the fly in Quick File View, but I did not like how it works. The standard Edit control I'm using here cannot change that style on the fly (AFAIK). You must actually destroy it and re-create it from scratch. Selections and scroll positions are lost. Try it in Notepad (uses the same control) and you see what I mean: same problem there.

Oh yes, the other reason was: I was just too lazy for this soft stuff this morning. So I simply made the decision for you: wordwrap! But, of course, you don't like it!

Ok, I can let you tweak it, or add it to configuration. Not sure yet...

Sorry bout that! But it does make usage of this nice feature less practical in many cases...and I'll agree that in some cases, it does make it more practical also, but not that often for me.

Well, I realize that tweak is the easiest to code, but from a usability POV, a Config setting allows user to switch it temporarily if needed with a lot less effort.

Addendum: Since I tend to access this via TB icon for Full Screen Preview, could there be a right-click context menu on this icon with the wrap toggle as one option? That would make it very easy to access and set/reset yet keep it off the panel.

THANKS! I see the new checkbox and it's very nice and convenient!

Yep, I agree.

Mouse Wheel scrolling isn't working here for me and my Logitech. I assume this dialog and the one for multi-line Input() and Text() are all the same (or using the same controls) as it doesn't work there either.

Also, and more on topic, can we get a "w" switch for those two commands to toggle the wrapping?

Works fine here on my NX60 Logitech.

False alert.. My AHK script was blocking it.

Guess I really need to go through and determine which controls have MRU/Auto-Complete lists again.

Huh? There is an Alt+W accelerator built in already.

I mean for scripting, so that the Text() and multi-line Input() commands can define that value.

Aaahhhhh! Yes, makes sense.
