Enabling Word Wrap in Zed

Ever since Atom was retired, I’ve been using Zed as my go-to simple text editor. While editing Markdown for this blog, I was annoyed that Zed didn’t seem to do word wrap, even though it understood that the file was Markdown format. Here’s how I was able to enable it at the project level.

1. Press Command + Shift + P
2. Type local and select zed: open local settings
3. Add this to settings.json: {"soft_wrap": "editor_width"}
4. Press Command + S to save the file.

Zed should now wrap within the project.
