Hi,
I want auto text wrap as shown in this video. The situation is a little hard to explain using text or pics so I made a video.
Thanks.

I tried that but it didn't seem to work. But I will try it again.

I just gave it a try and it works as intended in Vim 7.3 on Slackware -current. How did you test it?

Ok it is working now in my system. But it formats the text that way. I mean it inserts line breaks. I don't want that. I just want the text to be one single line (until I press <enter> i.e.) but just display it as such. So that when I open it in some other editor, I should see it as one long line.
