In just VIm, text wraps to my terminal, even when I explistily set the following befor typing. :set wrap :set tw=72 vim still blindly ignores textwidth, if I ditch my overtly long .vimrc, vim obeys like a good dog. but I loose lot of things that I've become accustomed to lol > So, we need to figure out why you're getting that "l" there.
