How to wrap text/comments in Visual Studio Code?












19














Can someone tell me the keyboard shortcut/menu path to wrap text, comments, etc in Microsoft's Visual Studio Code? I couldn't locate it in User Preferences. Here's the screenshot which has a lot of comments that I'd like to wrap:



enter image description here



I know Sublime Text 2 has that option under Edit > Wrap, but I couldn't find anything similar on Visual Studio Code.

Just Search Wrap / Word Wrap





  • editor.wordWrap: "off" - Lines will never wrap. editor.wordWrap: "on" - Lines will wrap at viewport width


  • 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.


  • editor.wordWrap: "bounded" - Lines will wrap at the minimum of viewport width and the value of editor.wordWrapColumn.

Deprecated (For History Purpose/How JSON setting should look like)



File > Preferences > User Settings



For Beginner



Paste the following in settings.json



// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{ "editor.wrappingColumn": 0 }


That it, it is that simpler, but probably we will having someone open source user interface for json settings.



For Intermediate User



If you already have settings.json, just add



"editor.wrappingColumn": 0


As the settings is in JSON, last settings are without the comma , and setting is ending with } as you see in Default settings and the settings.json overide all the Default settings
