My lines break when I am typing beyond a certain length in vim, but afterwards, if I move up one line and type J, the line will reconnect.
So it is apparently not a matter of fixed length. I would like the line not to break while typing. Is there a setting enabling this in .vimrc?
From :h 'textwidth':
Maximum width of text that is being inserted. A longer line will be broken after white space to get this width. A zero value disables this.
