Text max width setting

[toastal]

Humans prefer to read text that's about 55 to 65 characters per line. Terminals aren't required but are recommended to stick to 80 characters (it may have been what the unused MAX_WIDTH was in this commit). Unless I'm in a tiling split or in a multiplexer session, I'm likely in a full screen context where I can get 200 characters or more to a line and it's not manageable to read. Because of this, I would like to be able to set a max characters per line so the text is comfortable to read regardless of how big my terminal is.
