 | Hi everyone,
I want to have vim insert an after 78 characters. The textwidth
option, :set textwidth=78, only wraps on whitespace; you could type one
large word and it wouldn't be wrapped at all. The wrapmargin option
acts similarly: it breaks on whitespace, not any character.
The linebreak command lets you specify what characters (in breakat)
might cause a line break, but the line break is purely visual and does
not insert any characters (not even show in those in showbreak).
To see what I'm asking for here, try typing this line in vim after :set
tw=78:
asdfjlksjalkfjksdkfjaldkjfkladjfkljaksdjflajdsfkasjflkjsdfkajdskfjalkdjflajsdkfjjkjsdkjfk
Notice how it isn't wrapped at all.
Basically, I want every line to be 78 characters or less. Is this
possible in vim?

no - there is not an option for this.
you could reformat your text after
you have written it, though. but
that's probably not what you want.

Well, at least it's (reasonably apparent) that it's not a real name.
There's a different case where someone makes up a name that looks real,
so he can (as above) say what/when he prefers (I had one of _those_
this morning, and actually prefer realplayer32 ;-)
