Re: [ jEdit-users ] Soft wrap and indenting?

[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

Hi,

Unfortunately the behavior you describe is not currently possible. Soft
wrap tries to be generic and work for any file type, so adding
Java-specific hooks is probably not a good idea.

As for the other issue, what modal dialogs in particular are you talking
about?
