I've got BBEdit 8.5 on a demo basis at present and I'm rather enjoying
exploring it.
There is something I can't work out although it may be that this is
crushingly obvious but I've just missed it for some reason.
Text can be soft-wrapped against either the page guide, a character
limit or
the window frame according to the preferences.
I want to have it so that it soft-wraps against the window frame
but I just
can't get it to do this. Instead when I invoke soft-wrap from the
toolbar
menu it soft-wraps against the character limit setting in the
preferences,
even though the preferences are set to wrap to window width.
At the top of the preferences window it says "These settings are
used for new
documents and for documents without saved state".
Well I've tried getting the open documents into an unsaved state by
simply
editing them a bit, then resetting the preferences, this hasn't
worked.
"Saved State" means per file editing options that are saved with the
file, not whether the file has unsaved changes.
If there are certain options which you'd always like to follow your
global or per language prefs, you can disabling honoring of the per-
file (Saved State) options for those items in
Preferences -> Text Files -> Honor Saved State
To change the wrap settings for an open file, you can choose "Text
Options" from the Edit menu, and adjust the settings there.
