Long lines chopped at window/terminal width

[kennylevinsen]

There is currently no support for horizontal scrolling or word wrapping, causing the extra content to be chopped off. Word wrapping (In my opinion highest priority!) and horizontal scrolling needs to be implemented.

Should be quite easy to fix due to the terminal's fixed font width

For termbox, indeed (which is my preferred frontend), but I believe it might be more tricky for qml? It exhibits the same issues when I tested it, and unless qml provides assistive mechanism, then non-monospace fonts could make this a funky issue indeed.

QML should be able to do word wrap and scrolling trivially where the immediate quick-fix for both would be:

             }

But it needs logic for a horizontal scrollbar + minimap and others.
