Question

Vim adds a new line when I am writing something inside quotes and the line hits the window width of the Vim.

For example:

export_data(...['official stmt url, issue',])

When writing something inside the quotes, this becomes:

export_data(...['official stmt url, issue
                 , new line aligned',])

I want to disable this feature. I guess this is caused by some settings in my vimrc file but I don’t know which one.

Answer 1

The simplest fix to this is to disable textwidth:

:se textwidth=0 wrapmargin=0

to find the cause, do

:verbose set tw wm fo

which will show something like the following:

  textwidth=78
    Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/help.vim
  wrapmargin=0
  formatoptions=tcroql
    Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/help.vim
