Indentation of word-wrapped lines

[Rich Pasco]

Using TextPad 4.4.1, downloaded today:

I have noticed that when "word wrap" is enabled, continuation lines begin at the left margin (the first column of the edit window), **unless the first characters of the original line are spaces or tabs, in which case the continuation lines are indented to align with the first non-blank characters.**

I want to disable the exception flagged by ** above, so that the
continuation lines always begin at the left margin, regardless of the first characters in the original line. How?

If it is not possible, I would recommend adding, in future versions, a new checkbox under Preferences/View called "Indent wrapped lines." Or alternately this could be by document class, under Word Wrapped Text.

In Preferences/Document Classes, in the general section for each class there is a check box for "Maintain Indentation". Uncheck it and you won't have the problem.

Thanks, Randall. Indeed your suggestion fixes my problem.

However, it seems that the same switch also turns off the
alignment of the cursor to indent lines with a hard return.
Ideally I'd like to control these separately. Maybe in a
future version.

You're welcome. And tho' I haven't felt a pressing need for maintaining word wrap indentation differently from hard return indentation, I admit I can see a use for it and *would* use it if available (as a check beck in the Wordwrap section perhaps). Another hopefully simple feature for the next version ...
