allow 'Use Soft Wraps' by default with Markdown plugin?

[jstrachan]

I love the markdown plugin! However most times I do any serious editing in IDEA of a markdown file I have to select View -> Active Editor -> Use Soft Wraps to enable nice wrapping so I can see all the text in the document (as you often have long paragraph lines in markdown).

I wonder is there some way to have this as the default in Markdown?

[jstrachan]

DOH! I can just enable Settings -> Editor -> Use soft wrap in editor! :)

sorry for the noise!

Reopening, you are right, this should be the default.

pleeeese... I have to use the scrollbar all the time, and 'soft wrap' doesn't seem to work in HTML preview.

Notice: This plugin is no more maintained and it has been removed from Jetbrains plugins repository. There is a Markdown plugin officially supported by Jetbrains.

OK... as everything is versioned anyway, why not

• remove all files so that anyone interested has to dive in Git history to retrieve them
• (including cleaning up the project README to make that even mor clear)
• create a label to tag all remaining issues as "won't fix" and close them all
• hide all issues

Another trick people can do here is to add a key shortcut binding to that menu entry. With that shortcut, you can toggle the setting.
