Hi all,
I am curious how other people solve this problem in Vim and whether there's
a generic solution.
Let's say I'm editing a filetype (regardless) and the "tw" value is set to
"78". This works fine on new lines where I am typing new text -- when I d
this the line I am typing wraps at 78 chars, and all is happy with world.
This falls apart though when I then decide I need to ammend an existing
line. As soon as I need to do that, the wrapping happens at an odd place,
such that I then find myself having to press "gq}" to reformat the
paragraph, because the edit I've made has made a mess of the formatting.
So my question is: is there a way of avoiding this "gq}" step, and instead
-- if I have to go and add more text to an existing line where there's a
"set tw=$FOO" line applied to the file, that this is honoured automatically,
without the need to then reformat the edited paragraph via "gq}" to get the
formatting correct?
Kindly,
-- Thomas Adam
P.S. For anyone's who's wondering, yes , I did need to use "gq}" numerous
times throughout this email, due to the problems outlined therein. :)
