Option to show the column limit #1259

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The status bar shows the current line and column numbers, which is great. 
However, a vertical line showing the 79th (or 80th, or whatever suits the user) 
column would be great in order to avoid writing past that limit. This feature 
is available in most text editor (such as Vim) and even in Matlab; texmaker 
users would benefit from it. Ideally, the column limit (perhaps 79 by default) 
could also be set by the user.

Texmaker uses dynamic wordwrap like all modern editors.

Yes, it has. However, sometimes when doing some collectiv wokrs and you share 
files via online storage, it is useful that you have as many lines as posible 
(you divide paragraf into eg. 50 lines a 60 characters each instead of 1 line 
od 3000 characters -- because of merging the file after editing). For that is 
very useful if you can have a line which shows you e.g. 60 characters.

What is the status of this issue? and what it means “Texmaker uses dynamic 
word-wrap like all modern editors” ? It is not able to wrap up lines after 80 
characters, mainly because the feature does not exist (other editors do have 
it):

Do you plan to implement this anytime soon?

It's not an issue.
Texmaker is using and wiil continue dynamic wordwrap like all modern editors.
If you don't like it :
- you can deactivate the wordwrap (Editor settings)
- you can hard wordwrap your document with the script furnished with texmaker : 
User menu -> scripts

I don't think the issue is  the dynamic wordwrap, I agree with the concern 
regarding limiting the columns for the editor. Many other editors such as 
TexMate or TextEd have the option to establish the limit of columns when 
editing (often this helps a lot when open a tex file in other environment). The 
wordwrap is NOT the concern, instead we would like to know how (and if exists 
the feature in TexMaker) to establish this limit in the editor. I also 
exhaustively searched in the editor without any success.

i have the same problem, because it makes it hard to structure the tex file for 
easier searching errors in the code.

the dynamic word wrap is crap, because i sometimes i have a little window going 
on, when i type something up directly from a pdf file on my desktop and then 
opening texmaker to a bigger window size destroys the structure i created.

"like all modern editors" ok i worked with notepad++, sublimetext and akelpad 
and all have a non dynamic word wrap, whats so hard to add normal word wrap 
with an option to deactivate the dynamic one?
