It would be nice to have an option to allow the text
in a column be able to wrap, instead of staying in
place as you slide the column from wide to narrow...
Wrapping would be a useful feature. I just haven't figured
out a good way of handling it yet.
If the column hasn't been resized yet, what is its default
width? In theory it could be anything. Probably the right
thing to do is to use the text width considering newlines.
Do you ignore newlines when wrapping? I don't know what
the answer is here. If you don't, then won't that make
the initial column width really, really wide?
I'd like to avoid using an arbitrary default size. For
example under Windows, I find that the default column
sizes are never big enough for me to see anything. So
I'm always resizing columns.
If you have any ideas about how this should work (the
semantics are always harder to get right than the
implementation) please let me know. I appreciate any
help.
