To see which settings are not at their defaults, use
:set
wih no arguments. To see all settings _including_ those still at their
defaults, use
:set all
However, 'wrap' and 'textwidth' have nothing to do with each other.
'wrap' will wrap your lines (without breaking them) at the window
margin, onto several "screen" lines per "file" line if necessary,
possibly in the middle of a word, and with absolutely no regard for
the value of 'textwidth'. 'textwidth' defines where Vim will _break_
lines (but usually only comment lines, not code lines) when you type
them. Where 'textwidth' will exert its influence is further defined by
the 'formatoptions' setting (see ":help fo-table").
Note that the help says 'formatoptions' defaults to "tcq" if
'nocompatible', "vt" if 'compatible', however there are filetype-
plugins for various 'filetype's which set (locally, on files of that
filetype) a different value.
Best regards,
Tony.
