Hello,
How to Disable & Enable Word wrapping Console in Windows Terminal?
If this feature does not exist, please add it.
Thanks.

We are not planning to allow you to turn word wrapping off. It is on by default.

Why do you want it turned off?

Only sometimes at runtime.

Wait could you elaborate more? Is there a specific scenario that doesn't work well with word wrap? There might be better tools or other bugs that would help more than "disabling word wrap sometimes".

By default, word wrap turned on, and no problem.
I want to toggle word wrap at runtime. (Like Visual Studio Code)

Both issues are closed now, however we don't have the possibility to disable the word wrap yet :(

Not having the option to disable the wrap has made windows terminal impossible to be used on a vertical screen.

Has this been fixed? As far as December 2024, I've search for this line wrapping option in Windows Terminal Version: 1.21.3231.0, and it is not available (hopefully I've searched in the right places).

I need it for a better organized logging display. In the following window arrangement, the logging on the left side of the screen is less readable than if it where unwrapped. An horizontal scrollbar would make working with it smoother.

As as side note, as you can see from this comment in the present issue, the feature is heavily needed:

You can follow #1860 for updates. I was planning to do it for the next release, but I'm not sure anymore that I'll be able to make it. In either case though, implementing this is one of the next things I'll do for Windows Terminal.

Isn't it implemented yet?
