Php Storm : How can i automate breaking lines in PHPStorm 2.1

Question

How can i automate breaking lines (word wrap) in PHPStorm 2.1?

Solution 1

Automatic wrap example aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa‌aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :

This expression has automatic wrap, because I did not press return.

As I understand you want Soft Wraps, when long line is wrapped on screen into multiple lines, but still remains as single line in file.

Soft Wraps

on per file basis
View | Active Editor | Use Soft Wraps

for all files by default
Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Use soft wraps in editor

Right margin setting

There is also Settings/Preferences | Editor | Code Style | General --> Wrap when typing reaches right margin

But that's different (it will make actual new line).

UPDATE: In current builds IDE can use separate value for right margin per different "language" -- as long as that language has an entry in Code Style settings.

---

Also keep in mind that any settings from .editorconfig files (if you have such files in your project and EditorConfig plugin is installed & enabled) will override the same from Code Style settings -- it's the nature of the plugin and not a bug (it meant to work this way).

Using EditorConfig support you can configure certain settings that otherwise may not be possible to do via Code Style (e.g. settings for languages/file types that have no separate Code Style entry).

Solution 2

1. Open Settings
2. Type "Use Soft Wraps" in search box
3. In keymap tab right click on "Use Soft Wraps" and add a custom shortcut

You will be able to toggle them with that shortcut

Solution 3

In PhpStorm 2019.1.3 You should add file type you want to make soft wrapping on it

go to Settings -> Editor -> General -> Soft-wrap files then add any types you want

Solution 4

For wrapping text/code line by deafault: File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> section "Soft Wraps" -> checkbox "Use soft wraps in editor"

Solution 5

In Webstorm 2020.3 i did not found any option for all files by default, but just change the pattern:

for ALL files:

Settings > Editor > General > Soft Warps > Soft-wrap theses files: you can change value to:

*.* (in the other words "ANY file name" and "ANY extension file")

for SOME FILES:

*.php; *.html (Any files with exntension .php OR .html)
