woohoo. such a small editor making so much noise with only one option.

i prefer to not touch the upstream nanorc we install. after many requests i followed Fedora and many other major distributions and disabled the line wrapping completely via configure.

i don't know any good situation when line wrapping is useful expect in writing mails. but who is using nano for that task? (i guess alpine users go with pico).

so why do some people want that wrapping back?

i think a small note about no line wrapping in our installer when it shows the choise for vi/nano is much more than needed.
