I have set textwidth=80 and would like Vim to automatically break a line (between words) when the line gets too big. However, this isn't working, Vim doesn't seem to be doing anything different. Is there some other option I need to set? Thanks, Jeremy
With 'textwidth' set to 80, Vim should insert a hard line break after the rightmost space as you type the 81st character on a line.
You can also use variants of the gq commands: gqq to reformat a line, <Visual>gq to reformat the Visual area, gqap to regormat a paragraph, gggqG to reformat the whole file.
