StringWrap.vim

This is a very simple Vim plugin to wrap or unwrap long strings (mainly intended for Python). It will help you turn this:

a = (
    "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
)

into this (visually select the string or stand on the line and run :StringWrap):

a = (
    "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod "
    "tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim "
    "veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea "
    "commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate "
    "velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint "
    "occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt "
    "mollit anim id est laborum."
)

and back again (using visual selection and :StringUnwrap). The maximum width is equal to your Vim textwidth setting. It will not work if the string is not on its own line.
