Soft wrap by Markdown only

I'd like to have soft wraps in the WebStorm editor only by Markdown files. According to Word wrapping in phpstorm this can be achieved only with Menu | View | Active Editor | Use Soft Wraps. I really don't want to have soft wraps by coding, but I don't want to use the menu every time I open an .md file.

Isn't there a way to assign this behavior for example to language or to file type?

You can configure this in .editorconfig and it will work in any JetBrains IDE that supports .editorconfig (hopefully all of them).

[*.md]
ij_any_wrap_long_lines = true

It's 2019, and users of JetBrains apps now have automatic soft-wraps for Markdown documents - rejoice! 🎉🎊🥳

Alas it is not enabled by default, so you'll need to visit your preferences and check a box: On WebStorm 2019.2 at least, navigate to Editor > General > Soft Wraps and click your way to Markdown-soft-wrap bliss.

I found an acceptable solution to do this:

  1. Go to "Settings" -> "Keymap".
  2. Look for "Main menu" -> "View" -> "Active Editor".
  3. Assign a keyboard shortcup to "Use Soft Wraps" (for instance: Ctrl + Alt + w).

Now when you are editing a file, use this shortcut and it will enable the soft wraps only for this file.
