It is a pain, but E. like NB does highlight your syntax based on the code, not only on the wordlist... Show me that option in Kate or Notepad++. Don't get me wrong, N++ is very nice editor, but NB, Eclipse etc - are IDEs.

Have a look at Kate (and its source code) on KDE. It has a very nice soft word wrap. IIRC, Notepad++ on Windows also has something similar.

Yes, unbelievable. But also just as unbelievable as the fact that neither does intellij or netbeans have soft word wrap. At least I couln't find it. Especially hard is to implement soft word wrap for syntax-aware editors like java editor because of possible annotations, markers etc. Coming to your second question: there is still a wrap style that is called hard word wrap. This is basically just writing line-breaks into your sourcefile. Soft wrap wraps lines without modifying file. I'll do my best to implement word wrap for eclipse! If you're interested, feel free to visit this site to get updates about how it's going or volunteer for an alpha-tester :) Hi Anonymous! Yes, unbelievable.

I cannot imagine how eclipse users have been living without soft wrap for so long, this is a *must* have feature, I find myself having to resort to another editor to work with some files! Yes!
