Quickly toggle text wrapping from the View menu or Toolbar
https://github.com/jefferyto/gedit-toggle-text-wrapping
0.3.2

All bug reports, feature requests and miscellaneous comments are welcome at the project issue tracker.

0.3.0 and higher requires gedit 3; gedit 2 users should use 0.2.0 by Christian Hartmann.

1. Download the source code (as zip or tar.gz) and extract.
2. Copy the toggletextwrapping folder and the appropriate .plugin file into ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins (create if it does not exist):
   • For gedit 3.6 and earlier, copy toggletextwrapping.plugin.python2 and rename to toggletextwrapping.plugin.
   • For gedit 3.8 and later, copy toggletextwrapping.plugin.
3. Restart gedit, select Edit > Preferences (or gedit > Preferences on Mac), and enable the plugin in the Plugins tab.

To toggle text wrapping for the current document, either:

• Select View > Enable Text Wrapping;
• Click the checkmark button in the Toolbar; or
• Use the Ctrl+Shift+B keyboard shortcut.

Note that this only affects the current (active) document; text wrapping for documents in other tabs and/or windows will be unaffected, and the global text wrapping preferences will remain unchanged.

The code in toggletextwrapping/utils comes from python-gtk-utils; changes should ideally be contributed to that project, then pulled back into this one with git subtree pull.

Christian Hartmann:
Parts of this plugin are based on the work of Mike Doty [email protected] who wrote the infamous SplitView plugin. The rest is inspired from the Python Plugin Howto document and the Python-GTK documentation.

Francisco Franchetti:
This plugin was developed for gedit 2 by Christian Hartmann at [email protected].
