Disabling Word-Wrap in XCode

Question

I'd like to disable the Word-Wrap "feature" in XCode. Can this be done? I can't find a setting or a hotkey that will do this.

Also, before stating "long lines of code are bad-- keep them short and format the wrapping yourself", please realize two things.

First, I often keep multiple code pages open for reference, so they are each pretty small. Second, I am using XCode strictly as an editor for an existing, embedded systems project. I didn't write most of this code and much of it is 80+ characters wide because of heavy use of code indention.

Answer 1

This is moved (at least as of) Xcode 12.4:
Xcode > Preferences > Text Editing > Display > Wrap lines to editor width

Answer 2

I think that you are searching for the checkbox under Preferences>Text editing>Indentation>Wrap lines to editor width.

This seems to overwrite the Xcode preferences. I would recommend to use the personal Xcode settings, because not everyone would want to view this file in the same wrapping/non-wparring style. – Freestone
