Hi all:

   current the soft wrap is set to 80, does anyone know how to change the setting(like to 120)??? I search code for 80 but too much find!!!!!!

kitchen-sink demo is a good place to start searching for stuff :)

https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/master/demo/kitchen-sink/demo.js#L377

session.setUseWrapMode(true);
session.setWrapLimitRange(120, 120);

and

session.setUseWrapMode(true);
session.setWrapLimitRange();

for free wrapping

I want to have 80-char soft wrap for the Ace editor on Overleaf, and have added the suggested configuration to my Greasy Fork script. The diff is linked here and I was adding these two lines:

editor.session.setUseWrapMode(true);

editor.session.setWrapLimitRange(80, 80);

Yet, on Overleaf, after refreshing the page, the softwrap is still set as "free wrapping", I guess? The line only wraps when it hits the full width of the pane. Please advise if there is a GreasyFork way of mandating a softwrap at 80 char? I think is all an end-user can do with Overleaf editors.

Thank you in advance!

perhaps another session is created after your code sets wrap to 80

try using the following

editor.setOption("wrap", 80)  

ace.config.on("session", function(session) {
    session.setOption("wrap", 80)
})

It worked! Thanks a lot! Here is a pointer to the full script for Overleaf Vim-mode.

Just found one caveat for the Overleaf site: with the following configuration to soft-wrap at column 80, the native "auto-completion" feature is no longer available. 

ace.config.on("session", function(session) {
    session.setOption("wrap", 80)
})

Normally, the auto-completion works like the following, for example. 

I guess this is more an Overleaf-specific issue and will update here if I hear back from their support team.

Update from Overleaf Support:

The following can set a soft-wrap at the 80th col and does not seem to interfere with the auto-completion feature.

editor.setOption("wrap", 80)  

ace.config.on("session", function(session) {

    session.setWrapLimitRange(80, 80)
})
