Hard line wrap

In vim, you can use ":set textwidth=100" to have an automatic line break when your current word exceed the 100th character. It is useful when you make latex documents, you don't have to worry about line break.

It might be doable via a plugin.

Perhaps tie it in with Automatic Indent.

Does Bug #1236739, "Enabling 'wrap text' does not break lines at word boundary", duplicate this bug?

They look related, at least.

So this looks like it's effectively a "hard" line wrap, where the editor inserts a newline instead of just visually wrapping. Atom has something similar.

We have a vim emulation plugin so maybe could be implemented there.
