I'm pretty sure there are shortcuts for fullscreen editor mode, but dislike it 
personally. Having
the code hierarchy on the left keeps me orientated. In fact I've never seen 
developers use
fullscreen editor mode which just goes to show how different developer 
environments can be :)

I'm sure even 120 won't be enough for some statements. The other thing to 
consider is that source
width influence the length of statements. With 80 one generally breaks code 
into shorter statements
(in my mind a good thing). 120 would encourage long chained statements which 
are hard to unravel.

I haven't actually checked it in, it was just a local branch to experiment 
with. If all goes well
I'll merge it in during the week.

Kind regards
