Hi
I stumpled on this hard-wrapping default behavior when editing
.bash_profile on GuixSD
It is super annoying.
Could we disable it by default?
According to the FAQ this exist:
"With --disable-wrapping-as-root you can disable any hard-wrapping
by default when the user is root, useful to prevent accidentally
changing long lines in system configuration files."
" --disable-wrapping Disable all hard-wrapping of text"
We only compile with this:
address@hidden ~$ nano -V
GNU nano, version 2.9.8
snip
Compiled options: --enable-utf8
We could do this also by adding the following to our core ~.bashrc
alias nano="nano --nowrap"
I don't use nano. But I think usually we want to stick with the default
provided by upstream. Also, do you know how other distros handle this?
Debian does disable wrapping by default. I think we can change it if
many distros agree that the more sensible default is to disable
wrapping.
Personally though, I prefer wrapping because I can read all the text at
once. I like to see the "whole picture" at once :)
