Instead, try using v2.8.6 or above. (I'm currently using v2.8.7, which may be
the latest version). Now in conjunction with softwrap (-$ switch) you can use
"set atblanks" in your nanorc. This will now save word boundaries when wrapping
at the end of the line, and also keeping your 'paragraph' in tact, no matter
what size your screen or window is.
Older versions would wrap at the end of the line, no matter if you were in the
middle of a word or not, and would crop up the word displaying it on both lines
instead of wrapping the whole word.
I never liked the -w switch, so I requested the softwrap feature above
somewhere around v2.8.4. I tested some patches submitted with a few others, and
it was included in v2.8.6 and above. Now I use it as my default editor for
posting messages here even.
Regards,
Nick
