editorconfig TILs

• hardwrap in vim with gqip #

  Nov 8, 2025

  Set the textwidth option first, e.g. :set textwidth=77

  Then gq will reformat the lines you want.

  For example,

  • select a block of text -> gq
  • you’re in a paragraph and want to reformat the whole paragraph -> gpip
  • reformat the next 10 lines -> gq10j

  Here’s how I configure this in my .editorconfig to set a textwidth in markdown files:

  [*.md]
  max_line_length = 77
