When I write a long paragraph it looks normal. But after saving (formatting) it looks weird.
FYI word-wrapping and format on save was on.
This is before formatting
This is after formatting
Please help.
VS code wraps long lines if they exceed a certain length if "format on save" is on. To disable it, set the maximum length to 0.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the command palette and run the Preferences: Open JSON Settings command. Add the following line:
"html.format.wrapLineLength": 0
Okey, It's the window width. If I maximize vscode the promlem is gone.
Right now, when writing markdown in visual studio I have the configuration to wrap words according to the view port, and this is just fine, but sometimes I have to insert some base64 codes that have more than 200000 characters.
The base64 lines fill pages and pages with "useless" information.
Ideally, I want to achieve something similar to this in an automatic way or something close to it:
As you can see, the objective is to have "wrap on" for the information and the "wrap off" for the base 64 information.
So the point is to understand if there is a way to wrap off just some blocks and keep the wrap on viewport for the rest of the information
I thought in some workarounds
Wrap off lines starting with XXXXX ( in this case wrap off lines that start with:
Mess with the editor properties in settings json to wrap on lines with length 0 till 100 (for example)
but enable to get some success with it.
Right now, I have a pretty straight configurations in my settings.json (nothing is overriding the markdown section)
"[markdown]": {
"editor.wordWrap": "on",
"editor.defaultFormatter": "darkriszty.markdown-table-prettify",
},
Let me know if someone had the same problem and managed to workaround this situation
Feel free to ask for further information
Thanks in advance,
I suggest you wrap it in
<div> ... </div>, since it does not have any effect on your document, and then fold it. You can fold the text in VSCode with
Ctrl + Shift + [
or by pressing F1 and typing fold, selecting it while having your line cursor inside the div.
Here's a very nice answer as well.
Im not using any plugins for breaking my code, i think it's an integrated function. This problem is now since a few weeks and it's driving me crazy pasting code and then putting every line back.
Here is a screenshot of my code (i just copied this line):

Why is my vscode breaking the lines everytime?
Thanks in advance for your help, i really apreciate it
This is the default formatter wrapping text (or trying to) at the default of 80 columns.
If you want to override this, you can do so by adding this line to your settings.json file:
"html.format.wrapLineLength": 0
If you prefer to change your settings from the GUI instead of the json file, open the command palette and open the settings from there. Once in it, look for "HTML format wrap line length" in the search box and change the value to 0.
You find a shortcut to the settings here too:
I'm using prettier to format my Vue files, but can't find to seem a setting that puts props/attributes of html elements to new lines.
I'd like to make sure that my code is always formatted as it is for v-text-fieldin a yellow frame, rather than below. I set Prose Wrap to "never", but I guess that was not it. Any help appreciated!
You can set the setting of Print Width to higher value.
That's what Prettier does: breaks lines if they get too long. It doesn't make sense to use Prettier if you don't need its line-breaking behavior as this behavior and Prettier are one and the same.
How can I automatically hard wrap lines in VSCode? By that I mean if a line reaches a specified column, automatically insert a newline at the word boundary closest to that column without going over. Vim has a setting called textwidth that does this that I like to use when editing Markdown. It doesn't seem like VSCode does, as far as I can tell. It just has ways to control softwrapping.
VSCode doesn't support this out of the box. But you can install the Rewrap extension, which allows you to format the block that your cursor is currently in by pressing Alt + Q.
Rewrap requires no further settings, since it reads VSCode's settings to obtain the column at which to break.
Rewrap also supports automatic wrapping (off by default): https://github.com/stkb/Rewrap/wiki/Auto-wrap
Unfortunately, VSCode doesn't have this feature yet. But, we still can make it to be as close as vim automatic word wrapping beautiful feature.
First Step
We need to setup soft word wrap feature in VSCode.
Open VSCode Settings via Code => Preferences => Settings.
Add these 3 lines of editor settings.
"editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn",
"editor.wrappingIndent": "same",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": n
Don't forget to change (n) with your preferred length of columns line. For me, I feel more comfortable to set it to 60.
Save this setting.
The main purpose of this first step is to make us feel more comfortable when we're typing because we don't need to manually type Enter and see a long line of text.
Second Step
We need to install Vim emulation for VSCode and set vim textwidth.
Install Vim emulation via VSCode extensions.
Open VSCode Settings via Code => Preferences => Settings.
Add this line of vim setting.
"vim.textwidth": n,
Don't forget to change (n) with your preferred length of columns line. For me, I will set this to be the same with (n) in the first step.
Save this setting.
Actual Use
When you finish to write your whole document, you can format it to be hard wrap lines using this way.
Block all text using visual line mode (Shift + v)
Type 'gq'
Now VSCode support auto "soft" wrapping out of the box.
Settings --> Text Editor --> Last 3 options (as on today) is for autowrapping.
Word Wrap (Controls how lines should wrap)
Word Wrap Column (Controls the wrapping column of the editor)
Wrapping indent (Controls the indentation of wrapped lines)
By default Word Wrap is off.
As of 2020 and if you're using the Prettier - Code formatter plugin:
Go to Plugins -> Find Prettier -> Cog -> Extension Settings -> Prettier: Print Width Fit code within this line limit and set to whatever you want. By default it's 80.
When you save the file, Prettier will format automatically.
Hard Wrap Comments
Use the Rewrap extension.
Soft Wrap Code
Add the following setting (replace column width with your preference): "editor.wordWrapColumn": 100
Then add either "editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn" (wraps at the column) or "editor.wordWrap": "bounded" (wraps at either the column or the viewport).
Hard Wrap Comments and Soft Wrap Code
Unfortunately the extension and VSCode settings do not play nicely.

Most of these didn’t work for me, but I found the extension Vsctoix, which does.
We start out with line breaks at column 80:
Mechanisms such as a “windfall clause” help distribute riches within particular
futures. But for a windfall clause to be useful, many conjunctive assumptions
have to be true. We present a new method to borrow against potential future
windfalls today, when they have greater marginal use. The method also increases
the probability and thus the expected value of the windfalls.
Then we execute “IX: Join Lines” (no parameter):

We present a new method to borrow against potential future windfalls today, when they have greater marginal use.

And then “IX: Break Line At” with parameter 100:

It would be neat if it respected paragraph breaks and did both steps at once, but so far it’s the only extension that works for me – except I haven’t tried the vim emulation yet.
You can do this without any extension. You just use two regex search-and-replace.
Isolate the lines you want to rewrap by moving them to a separate file.
Join all the lines into one line. For example, ctrl+h, "\n" ==> " ". Note: make sure regex is enabled (the dot star icon)
Split the line into multiple lines. For example, ctrl+h, "(.{100}) " ==> "$1\n". Notice the space after the paren.
Copy the lines back to the original file.
There are many variations on this technique. For example, you could using comma instead of space "(.{100})," ==> "$1,\n". You could use Find in Selection alt+L instead of using a temp file.
Edit: (below answer might be for a soft wrap, see here for difference between soft and hard wrap: https://stackoverflow.com/a/319932/9481613)
In my version it is Preferences -> Settings then scroll down to "Editor: Word Wrap" where a dropdown box is available from which I selected wordWrapColumn. After choosing this and closing, when I click on View now at the bottom it says Word Wrap Alt+Z.
If anyone is running having issues, accessibility support/screen reader may need to be disabled. Go to preferences >> text editor >> accessibility support and toggle it off.
You can easily set the column limit using ColumnLimit member in C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle in settings.json (You have to install Microsoft C/C++ extension)
"C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle: WebKit, IndentWidth: 4, ColumnLimit: 80 }",
Then you can format the file using Shift + Alt + F
There are many options you can change in this format feature
"C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle: WebKit, UseTab: Never, IndentWidth: 4, TabWidth: 4, BreakBeforeBraces: Attach, AllowShortIfStatementsOnASingleLine: false, IndentCaseLabels: false, ColumnLimit: 80, AccessModifierOffset: -4 }",
Name of the predefined style used as a fallback in case clang-format
is invoked with style file but the .clang-format file is not found.
Possible values are Visual Studio, LLVM, Google, Chromium, Mozilla,
WebKit, Microsoft, GNU, none, or use {key: value, ...} to set specific
parameters. For example, the Visual Studio style is similar to: {
BasedOnStyle: LLVM, UseTab: Never, IndentWidth: 4, TabWidth: 4,
BreakBeforeBraces: Allman, AllowShortIfStatementsOnASingleLine: false,
IndentCaseLabels: false, ColumnLimit: 0, AccessModifierOffset: -4,
NamespaceIndentation: All, FixNamespaceComments: false }
