I’m using ST3 for writing, not coding. I keep the word wrap set at 70, as that’s the way I like it in regular view and in distraction-free mode. However, I often split my screen between ST3 and a note app I use, so in those instances the ST window is half as wide as usual, and I would like the word wrap to recognize that state and change the wrap to “automatic,” just as if I’d chosen View > Word Wrap Column > Automatic. So the words will still wrap, and they will now all be visible in the smaller window. And, of course, I’d like it to revert to my default 70 margin when I go back to full screen. FWIW, I’m on Ubuntu. Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks very much. I’m really ignorant about a lot of this, though–github especially–and I’m not sure what making an issue for it means, to be honest. Is that spreading my question to a wider audience? I appreciate the help.

It means that since you are asking for enhancement to the existing word wrap functionality, @bschaaf has went ahead & created an issue for it. Creating an issue means that the enhancement you are looking for is now tracked in the issue tracker (where all the issues, enhancements, feature requests, bugs) & the developers know about it & they may add such a feature to a future ST build.

The issue tracker is used by us to keep track of the status of each issue, so that we can see what hasn’t been looked at, what priority things have, who is currently working on what, how fair said work has progressed and what has been completed for the next build.

Thanks Benjamin. All sounds good. I’ll keep an eye out for that functionality in the future.
