Long lines scroll horizontally instead of wrap
Brought to you by:

One thing that bugs me about console2 is that it wraps long lines, like this:
caldenysio@xcrustrumb /d/code $ grep -I -r foo development/source/etc/etc development/source/etc/etc/something.cs var foo = n ew Foo(); development/source/etc/etc/whatever.cs var foo = ne w Foo();
This can be kinda hard to read. I would much rather scroll horizontally instead, like this:
caldenysio@xcrustrumb /d/code $ grep -I -r foo development/source/etc/etc development/source/etc/etc/something.cs var foo = new Foo(); development/source/etc/etc/whatever.cs var foo = new Foo();
It would be nice if there was a way to change this.
Anyone? Hello?
Hi,
Console project is currently dormant, but you can increase the horizontal buffer size if your Console window is too narrow.

Marko,
Thanks for replying. My Console window is the width of my screen (1920 pixels), but when grepping through code with long path and file names even this is too narrow. The ideal solution would be to allow horizontal scrolling akin to Gnome Terminal. I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish this with Console.
There is a limitation on the cmd's window width. Try to decrease the font size in the cmd's window - in Console, View > Console Window; in appeared window, System Menu > Properties > Font. Then setting the buffer width (in Concole, Properties > Appearance > Buffer Size) to a higher number might help.
