Question: long line breaks automatically in coffeescript

[mb-dev]

This "feature" drives me crazy. I am not sure which package introduces this behavior. Whenever I type a line longer than 74 character in a .coffee file, a line break is automatically introduced and the 2nd line is properly indented. Even if I modify an existing long line, it breaks around column 74.

I didn't experience this in golang or javascript so I think it's specific to coffeescript. I can't find anything related in coffee-mode, or the other packages in lang/js.

My .spacemacs can be found here:

Sounds like something has turned on auto-fill-mode. Try disabling that.

[mb-dev]

Yeah. That was the cause. I toggled it with SPC t F, and this turned it off. Not sure which package causes it to be turned on in the first place.

I don't see this toggle listed under the documentation. Would it be helpful to make a PR and add it? and also write something about line break, so it's more easily searchable?

It's turned on by coffee-mode itself here

Turning it off by default in Spacemacs would make it difficult to turn back on, since that would set auto-fill-function to its default value of do-auto-fill, and not the coffee-mode specific function of coffee-auto-fill-fn, which presumably does a better job.

I would prefer to document how to turn this off instead.
