Preference to limit line length (on/off)

[WeberAlex]

I would like to know if you would agree implementing an option to limit the line length to 75 or 80 character in the preferences. As a toggle ON/OFF.

When Boost Note is used in a Browser on a large monitor, the line length is limited by the windows size, that's fine on small/medium screens, but on a large monitor reading long lines of text is not the best experience.

I made the similar UI improvement to toggle ON/OFF the left panel when Boost Note is used on a small display #1178 not long ago. I think that these two features would improve editing and reading notes on Boost Note regardless of the display size.

Hi, WeberAlex,

I think this could be achieved with two add-ons: https://codemirror.net/demo/hardwrap.html and https://codemirror.net/demo/rulers.html.

Example:

I'll see with the team if it is a good thing to add.

Hi Komediruzecki,

The screenshot looks prefect. Line length is certainly less relevant for code only, but for anything text, like documentation, or study topics, it makes a difference. I hope that your team will agree.

I hope you don't hold it against me to create so many requests for improvement in this short time. I feel that Boost Note has a lot of potential, and that it is can be a great Markdown editor, not only for code.

Can you tell me if I need to open a bug report for each conversation that we have, like this one, or do you do the triage?

It's not a problem, create as many as you like.

You can open bug reports for actual bugs, feature request issues for feature requests, and discussions for anything else.
I am not exactly sure are we 100% on discussions now regarding feature requests, but probably bugs should be still reported as Issues rather than discussionstopics.
