Revisiting this, I’ve come to the conclusion that the ability to toggle wrapping on a table is a useful feature. Users may want to see all the text in their table (thus, wrapping) or make their table readable in plain text (thus, no wrapping).
To redress this as a feature, rather than a bug, there would be a few steps required:
- Make the color adjustments consistent so that the table borders (
-
and|
) are greyed out in either case - Clean up handling of unwrapped (off-screen) text. This would include:
- Clean up visualization of line numbers when scrolling to the right (right now, they just overlap and make things tough to read - this may be a separate bug report)
- Fix the
end
key functionality. Currently, theend
key does not take you to the end of the line when text runs off-screen. Instead, it takes you to whatever text is on the edge of the window. (also may require a separate bug report)
- Document the functionality in the
Help
vault
Example of line number overlap when scrolling, plus the cursor position after hitting the End
key is not at the end of the line. Note that I have a custom CSS in this photo, but it happens with or without custom CSS.
