I would like to auto word wrap all files to the window. In sublime this is simple with auto however, in VSC I have three options:
editor.wordWrap
editor.wordWrapColumn
editor.wrappingIndent
My issue is that no matter what settings I use I am unable to wrap the text to the window. There is about a 3 inch gap on 15in monitor from where the text ends to the edge of the window. I want to be able to move the window by snapping to any edge and my words wrap automatically no matter what size the window is - if you have used sublime you will understand this situation.
"word_wrap": "auto",
"wrap_width": 0
Thanks for your help. I'm guessing this is a simple step but I am very new to VSC.
With the following settings, the VSCode should always wrap at the Window's edge:
"editor.wordWrap": "bounded",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 9999
"bounded" is documented as:
wrap at minimum of viewport and editor.wordWrapColumn
Since wordWrapColumn is still respected in bounded mode, and the default of 80 is rather low, you basically need to set that to something "unlimited" to get the desired behavior.

I've recently noticed that when typing out long lines of code, they split into multiple lines after this threshold and it bothers me. enter image description here
Not sure if it was a formatting extension that I put on here years ago, but I couldn't seem to locate it in the settings.
The grey line isn't what causes the wrapping. You can apply settings to have the grey line and not have wrapping. They grey line is displayed according to the editor.ruler setting.
In general text editor terminology, this wrapping you are observing is called "soft wrapping" (when an editor wraps long lines in its rendering of the text, but doesn't actually insert line-break characters, which is called "hard wrapping").
By default, soft-wrapping can be toggled by Alt+z (The command palette command is named View: Toggle Word Wrap).
The default setting of soft wrapping for VS Code is configurable by the editor.wordWrap setting. It has several values it can take on:
"bounded": lines wrap at the minimum of viewport width and editor.wordWrapColumn,
"off": Lines will never wrap
"on": Lines will wrap at the viewport width
"wordWrapColumn": Lines will wrap at editor.wordWrapColumn
The word wrap column is configurable by the editor.wordWrapColumn setting. See also the editor.wrappingIndent and wrappingStrategy settings.
This is a setting called rulers. Go into Settings and search "rulers". Then you will be able to edit the settings.json file. Under "editor.rulers" remove all values in the array so that it is empty. That should solve it.
I want to use full viewport while coding in VS Code. But the lines are not expanding when i expand my VS Code window.
Any Fix ?
The correct configuration to use:
In order to configure V.S. Code so that the lines of code in
your editor will only wrap at the end of the view port, and
never before, you need to assign the correct value to the
setting: editor.wordWrap
There are 4 different values that can be assigned to the
editor.wordWrap setting. There is one that I believe
is exactly what you are asking for, however; 2 of the other
three could work too, so I will list them all, and suggest
the one I think will work best for you. The following are
the only "out-of-the-box" line-wrapping configurations that
VSCode supports, and they are as follows:
01| "editor.wordWrap": "off"_
— Assigning off to the wordWrap setting will make it
so that your editors lines will never auto-wrap. The only
way a line will ever be moved to the next line is if you add
a line break — by pressing the [ENTER] key. — and
proceed to continue typeing text on the next line. This way
could work for you, because you get 100% control over when
the lines break.
02| "editor.wordWrap": "on"
Assigning on to the editor.wordWrap setting makes it
so that that the lines of code in your editor will wrap
exactly where the viewport ends. No matter how big, or how
small the editor's viewport width is, the lines always
extend the entirety of the viewport, and never before.
NOTE: "on" sounds to me like what you were asking for
in your question
03| "editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn"
When you assign wordWrapColumn —to— "editor.wordWrap" the lines of code inside your editors view-port will wrap at what ever you set the setting editor.wordWrapColumn to. To be more specific, I'll give you an example.
if you configure wordWrapColumn so that it looks like the code-snippet below:
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 80
...then your lines will all wrap at 80.
This is by far the most popular configuration, as it is frequently coupled with 3rd party formatters, and linters, such as ESLint & Prettier. Prettier's printWidth setting, coupled with "editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn", is an extremely reliable and consistent configuration.
4| "editor.wordWrap": "bounded"
— Last is "bounded", bounded is a mix between on, and print width. In a nutshell, lines will wrap if either of two conditions are true.
- First lines will wrap at what ever "editor.wordWrapColumn" is set to, just like the configuration example #3.
- Secondly, lines will wrap at the end of the view port.
To reiterate through what I just typed, lines wrap at _"editor.wordWrapColumn"'_s value, unless the view-port is smaller than the value of "editor.wordWrapColumn", in that case lines wrap at the view-port.
That's all...
You can add any extension in you VS code such as Beautify or Prettier. Or if you want to format the document you can simply use shortcut Shift+Alt+F.
If you want to merge multiline code into single.Follow the steps
1.Select all line you want to merge in single.
2.Press F1 and search for join lines.
3.Select join lines and press enter.
You can also create a keyboard shortcut for this command editor.action.joinLines
"editor.mouseWheelZoom": true
Adding this setting to your settings.json will enable zooming in when holding CTRL and scrolling. After you save settings.json with this setting, you can hold the ctrl key and scroll with your mouse or trackpad to zoom in which will make your code cover the full screen. If you want more focus, you can enter Zen Mode. It is a nice feature built into Visual Studio Code, which helps you to focus more on your code than the activity bar or other files. You can toggle zen mode with shortcut keys CTRL + K Z, Command palette, or View menu.
I cannot use the full width of the panel in VsCode.
As can be seen in the picture it is quite a lot of space I can't use. (the red line)
Which setting should I change?
I do not have that many extensions and I have not played around very much in the settings either. (I set up a new machine every 30 och 90 days and hence don't fiddle around too much.)
Here are my relevant settings:
"editor.lineNumbers": "off",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 100,
"editor.wordWrap": "on",
"editor.minimap.enabled": false,
The word wrap is at 80 characters which also happens to be the standard editor.wordWrapColumn but I am not using it but have editor.ordWrap set to on. (on means word wrap but not at a special column count)
I have set editor.wordWrapColumn to another value but, as supposed, nothing changes as long as I have etidor.wordWrap set to on.
I have played with setting editor.wordWrapColumn to, say, 100 and editor.wordWrap to wordWrapColumn which, as supposed, makes the lines break at 100. Setting it back and everything goes back to (ab)normal.
That is just space so your lines can grow longer. Basically to remove it resize your window to the desired space. (In case you mean the minimap just go into settings and disable it)
I was using brackets editor and in brackets when the line is with the window code will use the next line
but in VS Code the code just goes on
in the same line which is frustrating I googled a lot of the settings but I just don't know what to search for.
i know there is some settings to be changed.
please help
Try Alt+Z or in main menu View -> Toggle Word Wrap
Also you can enable it in settings.json
// Controls how lines should wrap.
// - off: Lines will never wrap.
// - on: Lines will wrap at the viewport width.
// - wordWrapColumn: Lines will wrap at `editor.wordWrapColumn`.
// - bounded: Lines will wrap at the minimum of viewport and `editor.wordWrapColumn`.
"editor.wordWrap": "on"
Or File -> Preferences -> Settings
For Mac users: Press option + z
How do I change the horizontal letter spacing in VS Code?
I'd like to reduce it a little, in other words, I want to change this:
to this:
As of VS Code 1.13, there is an "editor.letterSpacing" setting.
For example, I'm using the following code in my settings to tighten up the letter spacing ever so slightly:
{
"editor.letterSpacing": -0.15
}
I actually just went the opposite way after installing the wonderful Victor Mono font which I found to be too narrow and wanted to expand the kerning.
I was able to set this by simply searching in the User Settings (CTRL+SHIFT+P) for spacing and there are two separate boxes that were set to 0 for terminal and editor. You can change the value and see it update live, which is really cool.
This is as of my current version of VS Code 1.39.2 on Mac OS Mojave.
I set my terminal to 1 and the editor to 0.7 and it looks amazing now and all is right with the world.
