Soft wrap by language

[kj]

Is there a way to enable soft wrap by language? I'd like to enable it by default for Markdown, but not for any other language. Related to that, is there any way to set Helix editor options based on the language?

It isn't documented currently but you can configure the soft-wrap key in language config (languages.toml) per language:

# ~/.config/helix/languages.toml
[[language]]
name = "markdown"
soft-wrap.enable = true

It takes the same options as the editor.soft-wrap config option.

Oh that's perfect! Thank you!
