Linewrap in Org-mode of Emacs?
The default mode for org-mode is truncate-lines mode.
You can customize this behaviour with org-startup-truncated
. Type F1-v org-startup-truncated
for a description, and then click on the customize link to change it.
You can also toggle it on-the-fly with the command toggle-truncate-lines
, between the normal Emacs view and the normal org view. For example, use this:
(define-key org-mode-map "\M-q" 'toggle-truncate-lines)
M-q is bound to fill-paragraph by default, but probably you don't want to use it within org-mode.
Try adding (global-visual-line-mode t) to your init file.
See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VisualLineMode
Org mode does not wrap lines on purpose, to not make tables appear very ugly. The function org-fill-paragraph
controls the insertions of line breaks for one paragraph for you. So you might want to use that instead of line wrapping.
