Lesson: Text Editing Settings

🎯 Objective

Enable word wrap and format-on-save features to enhance your text editing experience and maintain code quality.

---

✅ Step 3: Enable Word Wrap

Update your ./vscode/settings.json file to look like this:

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Default Dark+",
    "editor.minimap.enabled": true,
    "editor.wordWrap": "on"
}

✅ Reminder

• "editor.wordWrap" → value is a string, so use quotes around "on".
• Other options like "off" also need quotes.

---

▶️ Try It!

• Type a very long line and watch it wrap.
• Try changing "on" to "off" (keep the quotes).

---

✅ Step 4: Format on Save

Update your ./vscode/settings.json file to look like this:

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Default Dark+",
    "editor.minimap.enabled": true,
    "editor.wordWrap": "on",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
}

✅ Reminder

• "editor.formatOnSave" → the value is a boolean, so write true or false without quotes.

---

▶️ Try It!

• Save a messy file and see it auto-format.
• Change true to false to turn it off (no quotes).

---

✅ Summary

You learned how to:

• Enable word wrap using string values (“on”/”off”)
• Configure format-on-save using boolean values (true/false)
• Distinguish between string and boolean settings
• Improve code readability and maintain formatting automatically
