Justin SearlsHow do people write prose in code editors, with vim movements, and insist on softwrap? Drives me up a fucking wall not being able to navigate up and down reliably with j and k. #TeamHardWrap80cs
Todd A. Jacobs | Rubyist@searls I wrap at 56-120 chars per line depending on purpose. For #prosewriting, though, I've seen a lot of folks advocate for #softwrapping long lines but #hardwrapping at sentence boundaries.
The argument is similar to trailing commas in #RubyLang Hash or Array elements: it makes rearranging sentences easier, and probably isn't a huge navigation hardship for short, declarative sentences.
That's never felt natural to me though. So, #TeamHardWrap for me too!
jasonkarns@todd_a_jacobs @searls another scenario where editors should work in syntax, but save/commit AST.
(Presume AST for prose is 1 sentence/line)
