Of course, you still have to set 'textwidth', too.

:set textwidth=80
:set linebreak

will do, what you want. The option 'linebreak' does not do any wrapping, but
just determines where Vim will wrap long lines. These breaks can be soft (if
the option 'wrap' is set) or hard (if 'textwidth' or 'wrapmargin' is set).

Just read

:h linebreak
:h textwidth
:h wrapmargin
:h wrap
:h breakat

Best wishes,
Georg
