I switched to Notepad++ from WinEdt. One of the latter's greatest features is its
word-wrapping capabilities. I assume that Notepad++ is limited by Scintilla in this regard, but the TextFX-Edit rewrap feature is handy.
This feature will be more handy if there were a shortcut for it. I tried a macro recording but that does not work and produces garbage in place of wrapping. A shortcut for wrapping would be very useful!
BTW: WinEdt uses
SHIFT-ALT-INSERT to select a paragraph
CTRL-ALT-INSERT to format paragraphs
SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-INSERT to format the entire document.
One "bug" with the rewrap feature is that it does not respect indented lines.
Ideally the wrapping of a paragraph should not kill its indentation; it should wrap and keep the indentation intact.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I just checked out the split lines feature; thank you for pointing it out!
I have a question though: What is the difference between the split-lines and the rewrap-text (plugin) features? The two often produce rather different results: split-lines will produce lines which are nearly empty at times, while rewrapping will make more even line-breaks. So a shortcut for rewrapping would still be useful.
But this is great feature in any case!
Thnx again

I suppose that you're talking about splite line feature.
It's available in menu Edit.
