Line wrapping mode.
It would be nice if a line wrapping mode would exist for any text editor.
By that I mean that a line that extends over the width of a text editor window is
wrapped around instead of adding a horizontal scrollbar.
Similar modes exist in Visual Studio and even in Emacs 
(probably due to the missing scrollbars at that time).
The wrapping is then indicated by u-turn arrows at the side of the widget. 
So even the feature is kind of retro it has its benefits and its lovers.
