Make wrapping lines with Alt-Q work

[okartal]

If I change the language mode to plain text or markdown, hard-wrapping lines with Alt-Q (which uses the rewrap extension) works but not in Quarto mode (also not in Rmarkdown mode). When I write in plain markdown or LaTeX I usually do this for readability.

I also tried to configure rewrap but without success. Is there a reason why this does not work out of the box?

Don't know the particulars of that extension, but its likely because editor.wordWrap is enabled for the qmd file type: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-vscode/blob/main/package.json#L719. Perhaps if you turn this off in your config for cmd and rmd then this will start working: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_language-specific-editor-settings

Thanks for the suggestion although that did not work, even if I enable wordwrap in the rewrap extension. By the way, neither the keybinding nor the command palette does work. I just saw that a related issue is posted at stkb/Rewrap#331

It looks like this was fixed in stkb/Rewrap#367
