Make nano hard-wrap lines at 80 characters
I saw Long line wrapping in Nano and while the manpage says -
set fill number - Hard-wrap lines at column number number. If
number is 0 or less, the maximum line length will be the screen width
less number columns. The default value is -8.
This is how my ~/.nanorc is looking -
[$] cat ~/.nanorc
set autoindent
set backup
set constantshow
set fill 80
What I want is that once I start writing something, I should not have to have to break my rhythm of writing and once 80 characters exceed on a line it should hand-wrap and come to the starting of next line which does not happen atm.
What am I doing wrong ?
Update - I tried doing at thomas shared -
[$] cat .nanorc
set autoindent
set backup
set constantshow
set fill 64 columns
still no go, Using nano 2.7.1-1

Your .nanorc appears to be trying to set the margin at eighty-percent. But the manual says that the number is columns. Perhaps you meant something like
80 * .80 = 64 columns

In a quick check, using your.nanorcand current code it wraps for me. You'll have to provide more details.

I am using the buffer as a text editor. It doesn't wrap the text for me. Could you share you nanorc, the way it is written at your end. Maybe something I missed or it's a bug, have to know to figure it out. Sharing a single line text I created dropbox.com/s/tb1n8vmyxm7jiuv/sample.txt?dl=0 and s12.postimg.org/p2ln0k10d/nano_buffer_no_wrapping.png as a screenshot of the buffer. Hopefully you will be able to figure out what is going wrong.
