This is in a build from the EMACS_BASE_22 branch:
It appears that `longlines-auto-wrap' as a variable can't be set
directly - at least to no effect. I have to explicitly do (longlines-
auto-wrap 0) to turn it off.
Is there a reason why this isn't a minor mode so that M-x longlines-
auto-wrap would toggle?
I got confused about this because the doc string of `longlines-mode'
explicitly mentions the variable rather than the function (and the
doc string of the variable doesn't mention it either): "If the
variable `longlines-auto-wrap' is non-nil, lines are automatically
wrapped whenever the buffer is changed." This way, the doc string is
wrong (or this is a genuine bug).
I only figured this out after looking at longlines.el directly. I
think that's a bit much to ask from an end user.
I found out about this problem when I did a search-replace for ^J^J --
> ^J to get rid of empty lines in between paragraphs. Unfortunately,
this didn't work. Is there a better way to insert a hard newline? I
tried to yank the hard newlines directly from the buffer into the
minibuffer when doing M-x search-replace, but that didn't work and
produced the same effect with longlines-auto-wrap. Is this possible
at all?
