#20329 — Does Mac OS X's TextEdit not have a no wordwrap option?

Hello.

Is it me or does Mac OS X (e.g., 10.7.5)'s TextEdit not have an option 
to not to wordwrap?

Thank you in advance. :)

It seems to only have two options: wrap to window, and wrap to page. I 
don't know why one of those two wouldn't be acceptable for a text 
document. If you need something for editing a program, the Xcode editor 
doesn't wrap. vi is also installed with Xcode, as is ed, sed, nano, 
emacs, and probably a few others. (10.4.11)

Or you can use TextWrangler which will wrap however you like.

Hard to say whether or not you have a no-word-wrap option. TextEdit
does not have such an option. That's a feature usually associated with
word processors.

TextEdit has a "Wrap to Page" or "Wrap to Window" feature that it 
toggles between depending on need.
If the text is Wrapped, then returning to the menu you should find: 
Format-> Wrap to Window.

BBEdit (and TextWrangler, it's free cousin) have a "Wrap to Length" 
feature.  It allows text in a window or selected block of text to be 
wrapped to a specified character length, say 72 characters.

But there's no feature that will do it for you automatically as you type.
