How to wrap words/lines in NetBeans IDE 6.9.1?

I searched for "wrap" in keyboard mappings without success. I don't see this option in menu neither.

EDIT: I was thinking about result the you get let's say in Notepad2 by pressing Ctrl+W (or selecting View -> Word Wrap). So I'am asking about toggling such Word Wrap

As Daniel says, after Netbeans 7 this is possible. Just go to your NetBeans options and select the editor tab. In languages (dropdown) selection choose "all languages". Then you will see the option Line Wrap. Change it to "After Words" or "Anywhere".

Since Netbeans 7, word wrap is available. See this blog for directions:

Stolen from Sidarta's tip in this SO post:

You can use word wrap in Netbeans.

Add to netbeans.conf (netbans_instalation_path/etc/netbeans.conf):

-J-Dorg.netbeans.editor.linewrap=true and restart Netbeans.

In Options->Editor->Formating there is Line Wrap dropdown option

Works fine for me in Netbeans 6.9

Are you talking about "soft wrapping"? That is, there are no line breaks inserted into the text file, but each line is wrapped to fit in the editor window?

NetBeans doesn't support that. Hard to believe, I know. I think it might be coming in the 7.0 version, I'm not sure.

In Tools->Options there is a whole section on line wrapping. The options you choose here will depend on how you need to do the wrapping - it is quite configurable.

  1. Go to Tools->Options.
  2. Click on Editor in the ribbon at the top.
  3. Choose the formatting tab.
  4. Choose the language you require the wrapping for it the Language combobox.
  5. In the Category, choose Wrapping.
  6. Configure how you would like the wrapping to take place.

Hope this helps...
