Please support word wrap in internal editor

[Andreas0602]

Please support word wrap in internal editor (like in internal viewer).

DC uses SynEdit and [as far as I remember] this component does not currently support word wrapping.

Aren't there any other components better than SynEdit, that could replace it?
If SynEdit doesn't even know how to word-wrap, it is easily imaginable it has a lot of other shortcomings.

[alexx2000]

Editor component is a large thing. I don't want to depend on large third-party component because of such a small thing like word-wrap.

it's 404 now.
So problem is in SynEdit?

Tried to find current status, seems word-wrapping still missing, which is very very very strange…

Some links that can be helpful:

• https://wiki.freepascal.org/SynEdit#Further_development.2C_discussions
• Lazarus SynEdit doesn't have WordWrapping
• original Delphi SynEdit has word wrapping source + SynEditWordWrap.pas

[Skif-off]

original Delphi SynEdit has word wrapping source + SynEditWordWrap.pas

For some reason, no one has ported the latest changes in this Delphi component to Lazarus, a fork of one of the previous versions is used.

Lazarus SynEdit has experimental word wrap support:

@alexx2000 ,
this is not a port of some changes from the Delphi component, is it?

Fun stuff there:

Ok, thank you. And how to disable it after it has been enabled?

That isn't implemented yet....

But anyway, that can be worked around even by

• recreating anything to return in non-wrap mode
• or let an user do it himself (switching to text mode and then to code mode)

@Skif-off, looks like it is an independent implementation. Lazarus SynEdit was forked from Delphi long time ago. So it is a two different components today.
