From what I read of your preference, it sounds like you want to turn off textwidth (set it to 0) and keep linebreak.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} vi line breaks
Look for: set textwidth= Or shorthand: set tw=... If you set this to 0 .. then it will not wrap. You can do this on a per file basis with the vim modelines: # vim:set tw=0: As suggested look in the rc files. Thanks Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi,
I have kinda reverse question to this vi/vim problem: I am using
vim as vim (not in compatible mode).
When writing normal text in Emacs or loading normal text into emacs
there was the possibility to reformat paragraphs wirh
fill-paragraphs (ALT-Q) so there were linebreaks inserted and
removed to make the paragraph fit best into the previously defined
width of the line.
I cannot find this functionality in vim...is there anything like
that?
Kind regards,
mcc

If actually inserting line breaks, then you have textwidth set
somewhere. You can turn it of with:
:set textwidth 0
If it is just for display:
:set nowrap
BTW, :help will give you the built-in help system.
Of course, there is also a method of fixing this in bash.

I cannot find this functionality in vim...is there anything like that? From user_10.txt of the vim help manual: ===begin quote Now lines will be broken to take only up to 72 characters. But when you insert text halfway a line, or when you delete a few words, the lines will get too long or too short. Vim doesn't automatically reformat the text. To tell Vim to format the current paragraph: gqap This starts with the gq command, which is an operator. Following is ap, the text object that stands for a paragraph. A paragraph is separated from the next paragraph by an empty line. Note: A blank line, which contains white space, does NOT separate paragraphs. This is hard to notice! Instead of ap you could use any motion or text object. If your paragraphs are properly separated, you can use this command to format the whole file: gggqG gg takes you to the first line, gq is the format operator and G the motion that jumps to the last line. In case your paragraphs aren't clearly defined, you can format just the lines you manually select. Move the cursor to the first line you want to format. Start with the command gqj. This formats the current line and the one below it. If the first line was short, words from the next line will be appended. If it was too long, words will be moved to the next line. The cursor moves to the second line. Now you can use . to repeat the command. Keep doing this until you are at the end of the text you want to format. ==end quote=== HTH, W -- When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl.
