How do I turn on text wrapping by default in VS Co

Question

Usually when I use VS Code, very first thing I do on new document is command: "Toggle Word Wrap" or Alt+Z. I tried looking into User Settings, but I didn't find any relevant entries. Is there some way to have text wrapping 'on' for every document by default?

Answer 1

Have a look at the setting editor.wrappingColumn (see the docs for more information)

Update 2017-04-06:

Recently the setting changed (see here) to editor.wordWrap with several options:

We therefore decided to deprecate editor.wrappingColumn (with its -1, 0, >0 cases) in favor of editor.wordWrap.

Here are the new word wrap options:

editor.wordWrap: "off" - Lines will never wrap.
editor.wordWrap: "on" - Lines will wrap at viewport width.
editor.wordWrap: "wordWrapColumn" - Lines will wrap at the value of editor.wordWrapColumn.
editor.wordWrap: "bounded" - Lines will wrap at the minimum of viewport width and the value of editor.wordWrapColumn.

Answer 2

The setting is now "editor.wordWrap": "on" which I set to "on" (the default is "off") and that activates word wrap on all my documents in Visual Studio Code.

See the release notes about Word Wrap changes for more info.
