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 ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
