Softwrapping improvements (#5893)
* use max_line_width + 1 during softwrap to account for newline char

Helix softwrap implementation always wraps lines so that the newline
character doesn't get cut off so he line wraps one chars earlier then
in other editors. This is necessary, because newline chars are always
selecatble in helix and must never be hidden.

However That means that `max_line_width` currently wraps one char
earlier than expected. The typical definition of line width does not
include the newline character and other helix commands like `:reflow`
also don't count the newline character here.

This commit makes softwrap use `max_line_width + 1` instead of
`max_line_width` to correct the impedance missmatch.

* fix typos

* Add text-width to config.toml

* text-width: update setting documentation

* rename leftover config item

* remove leftover max-line-length occurrences

* Make `text-width` optional in editor config

When it was only used for `:reflow` it made sense to have a default
value set to `80`, but now that soft-wrapping uses this setting, keeping
a default set to `80` would make soft-wrapping behave more aggressively.

* Allow softwrapping to ignore `text-width`

Softwrapping wraps by default to the viewport width or a configured
`text-width` (whichever's smaller). In some cases we only want to set
`text-width` to use for hard-wrapping and let longer lines flow if they
have enough space. This setting allows that.

* Revert "Make `text-width` optional in editor config"

This reverts commit b247d526d6.

* soft-wrap: allow per-language overrides

* Update book/src/configuration.md

A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

The editing model is very heavily based on Kakoune; during development I found myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.

For more information, see the website or documentation.

All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.

Troubleshooting

Features

  • Vim-like modal editing
  • Multiple selections
  • Built-in language server support
  • Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter

It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) in wgpu or skulpin.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.
