Hi,

Why does verbatim text not line break properly.

\setuppapersize[A5]
\showframe

\starttext
% hyphenate is not the right word here; but illustrates the problem

\type{a very very long line to see if it hyphenates or not, that can require a 
lot oftyping phew}.
\stoptext

You can get a better result with “\setuptype[space=stretch]” but only the 
“stretch”
keyword for \setupalign/\setuptolerance prevents a overfull line in your 
example.

Thanks. I was looking for space=stretch (I did not want to change the global tolerance)

Also, it is possible to completely prevent line breaks for \type.

\setuptype[space=fixed]

You can also put the text in a \hbox with “\setuptype[command=\hbox]”.
The command key from \setuptype is special because it accepts only
box commands (\hbox, \vbox, \framed …).

I don't see why that is the case. Looking at the code, it appears that any option for command should work (that is not reset by \tf\tt). For example, command=\underbar works as expected.
