SUMMARY

When using Dynamic Word Wrap, text wraps once it reaches the edge of the document width view. With "Word wrap at fixed column", it hard wraps at the specified value.

What I'd love to have is the combination of both, where dynamic word wrap will wrap at a set value, instead of the width of the editor document/view. I can force this by having a second document in split mode, to force the view of the document I'm editing to shrink to the desired wrap width, but that feels super clunky.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Enable dynamic word wrap
2. Set Wrap Words at 82 characters, and enable Draw Vertical Line to make things easier to spot
3. Open a document and start typing

OBSERVED RESULT

The line will only soft wrap once it reaches the edge of the screen, potentially well past the word wrap character limit / column line.

EXPECTED RESULT

I'd like it to soft-wrap at the word wrap character.

This allows to constrain the width of the text of the editor, without introducing hard wraps. Hard wraps make text hard to reflow which can cause frustration when reading text for people with visual impairments, as 80 characters at 12pt takes up a different amount of horizontal space than 80 characters at 16pt.
