[Atom.io] How to change Preferred Line Length issue from 80 column to 120 column?

Atom.io is one of the best editor for all developers. Popularity has grown so much that more and more folks are creating lots of plugins and addons for it.

We have recently published an article on some of the Best Add-ons for WordPress Plugin Development for Atom.

Sometime today after upgrading to latest Atom version 1.17.2 line wrapping wasn’t working at all. Take a look at below screenshot.

Go to:

• Preference
• Click on Editor
• Change setting for Preferred Line Length to 80

Changing that to 120 didn’t work for me. So I opened, config file (config.cson) manually added below entry which fixed my issue.

editor:
preferredLineLength: 120
softWrap: true
softWrapAtPreferredLineLength: true
softWrapHangingIndent: 4

Let me know if you are also facing this issue. Hope above code will help you fix Preferred Line Length issue for Atom.io editor.
