For editing text files with longer paragraphs I would appreciate something like a buffer variable "truncate-lines" or a function "toggle-truncate-lines" which are present in GNU Emacs. This feature would be especially useful when writing prose text files where hard line breaks are not an option (i. e. auto-fill-mode is ruled out).
This would require considerable work on the display code, I think, and I have no plans to implement it. I've added a Feature Request, and patches are, as always, gratefully accepted.
