Somehow I can only enter code up to col 80. I must have diddled something with that as a side effect because I can't find any reference to a column or right column in the command palette.

First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.

Does pressing ALT-Z make a difference?

What OS are you using?

I'm on Win11 and every once in a while, the keyboard driver gets "confused". If I'm lucky, when I exit then rerun the app that had the problem it rights itself. But if it shows in other Apps, I have restart.

YurkshireLad has the  right idea I think.

Try this link: 80 characters max per line... why? - Software / IDE 2.x - Arduino Forum

@yurkshirelad It deletes the line the cursor is on so not much help (remember I am Mac)

@tfmccarthy @yurkshirelad On the Mac it's Option Z (I found it by searching the Command Palette) I didn't search on word wrap before, I kept searching for truncate and right column.

Thanks Guys
