Is there any command to toggle enable auto text wrapping?

By default, I think my vimrc setttings enable the auto-wrapping. However, sometimes, I would like to see text lines are not wrapped. Is there any command I toggle the text line wrapping enabled and disabled? This would avoid me to exit and to change settings.

For those who want to change the text instead of just visual effect, for example in git commit, just press qt in a roll and press enter. This will properly wrap the current paragraph your cursor is in. The paragraph is only delimited by blank lines. or you can select some area to press qt.

I found this by total accident.

Add the following to have CTRL+W toggle wrapping. You can change it to some other key if you don't want w to be it.

map <C-w> :set wrap!<CR>

I think what you want is:

:set wrap!

This will toggle line wrapping.

In your vimrc, create a function such as this:

:function ToggleWrap()
: if (&wrap == 1)
:   set nowrap
: else
:   set wrap
: endif
:endfunction

Then map a key (such as F9) to call this function, like so:

map <F9> :call ToggleWrap()<CR>
map! <F9> ^[:call ToggleWrap()<CR>

Whenever you press F9, it should toggle your wrapping on and off.

:set nowrap

There is also the linebreak option that controls whether wrapped text is broken at word boundaries or not.
