# Soft line breaks: ON by default, off with the Wrap builtin (`SPC t w`). A # file line too long for the pane renders across several body rows instead of # running off the right edge. # # Three rules pinned here. The break is at the PANE'S OWN content width and # nothing else — there is no upper bound, a wide window breaks wide. A # continuation row carries a BLANK gutter (the number belongs to the LINE, and # a number repeated down a wrapped line would read as several lines) and the # row it broke out of ends in `↩`, in the one column the wrap keeps free for # it — a break is otherwise invisible, and an absent line number is a poor # thing to read a document by. And the mouse follows the render: a click on a # continuation row lands on the character under the pointer, which only works # if the click resolves through the same row->line map the body was drawn from. # # The line is 20 decades, each headed by its own column marker: `0` at column # 0, `4` at 40, `A` at 100. So the first character of a continuation row NAMES # the column it broke at, and the width rule is readable straight off the grid. file long.txt 0---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7---------8---------9---------A---------B---------C---------D---------E---------F---------G---------H---------I---------J---------\nsecond line\nthird line\n # 48 columns: the 2-column chrome gutter, the 5-column line-number gutter and # the 1 column the `↩` sits in leave 40 for content. start 15 48 long.txt wait 8000 Newcol Joincol stable 700 20000 # the default: five rows for line 1 (200 bytes / 40), the four continuations # gutterless and starting at `4` `8` `C` `G` — the columns 40, 80, 120, 160 — # and each of the first four rows ending in the break marker snap on-narrow # a click on the SECOND row of line 1, on the `5` marker at column 50.
