When coding with Geany, I often have quite long lines. I want them to wrap automatically, so that I don`t have to scroll horizontally to see what I've written.

good, it is easy to toggle! would be better if there was a direct shorcut or even an icon. I use wrapping when reading some text, and no wrap when coding, thx!– VeganEyeNov 7, 2020 at 21:00
Go to Edit > Preferences. In the Preferences dialog, go to Editor > Features and then check the first checkbox (the one corresponding to "Line wrapping") :

Open the menu Document and check Line Wrapping which is the top-most entry in the menu.

Line wrappingoption in Edit > Preferences > Editor does nothing. Weird.– dw1Nov 30, 2018 at 10:26 -
There are three related parameters!
- 'Document', 'Line Wrapping' checkbox;
- 'Edit', 'Preferences', 'Editor', 'Features' tab, 'Line breaking column' numeric field;
- 'Edit', 'Preferences', 'Editor', 'Display' tab, 'Long line marker' section, 'Column' numeric field.
In the 'Long line marker' section, you can also set the type of the marker and it's color.

Just to clarify: if set in 'Edit', 'Preferences', 'Editor', 'Features' tab, 'Line breaking column', then line breaking is automatically enabled on newly opened documents. If the document was opened before that option was set, then 'Document', 'Line Wrapping' is the way to go.– ClémentOct 8 at 14:59
