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.

Hi, I just wanted to note that I often use line wrapping as it's more convenient than doing it manually. I do however enable it using key commands, and use nowrap in nanorc (since wrapping is so frustrating when it comes to configuration etc). I'd prefer if nano -w was used in the installer, or nowrap in the default nanorc. Better than disabling a feature completely. -- Anders Bergh
