"Virtual" word wrap length?
reddit / emacs

Is there a setting that I can use to create a virtual line length in a
fundamental-mode (or really, any mode) buffer?

I do some writing, and while my emacs WINDOW is full screen (I use a
tiling window manager) I want the text to wrap at a given column, but
only visually; I don't want actual linefeeds there.

Not even sure what to search for.  I want something like 'visual-line-
mode' that respects the fill-column value.

[visual-fill-column](https://codeberg.org/joostkremers/visual-fill-
column) is probably what you're looking for.

Another option is the Olivetti package.

This looks like it, yes.  Thanks!
