Sublime WrapStatement plugin (beta)

Attempt to make statements wrapping that hits first ruler (80 symbols by default) length.

Demo

Reason

It is crusial to keep source code clean and well-wrapped to keep it readability. Even if you have 30"-display it is hardly recommended to keep code wrapped at number of symbols before 120 because the problem not with the size of screen but with how humans perceive written text (any text, not only source code).

Most of books, magazines and newspapers have 120 symbols and less text wrapping. I don't think that they do it without reason. They are professionals and know that it is easier to read if text is well-wrapped.

If you wrap your code before 120 symbols you'll make the life of developers that use laptops and small screens a bit easier. You'll probably will make your own life easier if one day you'd like to work from your home or hotel using only laptop.

Note that many software companies defined maximum line length as 80 (hey, google) so I highly advise you to keep 80-symbols wrapping.

I know that there can be many arguing around this advise. I did this plugin because I personally keep this rule in mind when I program and I needed an instrument that helps me to execute this rule faster.

    {'nesting': True, 'scope': 'source(?!.*json)(?!.*source)'})
