Word wrap

In Markdown mode, text wraps at the editor's right edge by default. For long code blocks or tables it's often handier to turn wrapping off and scroll horizontally instead — e.g. to verify column alignment in an ASCII table.

Keyboard shortcut

Alt + Z toggles word wrap in the editor. The shortcut only fires inside the editor; nothing happens outside it.

The state is stored per browser in localStorage and restored after a reload. Other devices are unaffected — your tablet's editor can have wrap on while your laptop's has it off.

The setting applies to both the book editor and the article editor.
