Can't you enable line wrapping in your editor?

Line wrapping is an abomination.

Visual line wrapping (that doesn't modify the code) is just fine. Works a treat for prose and notes, and if you combine it with a toggle to switch to horizontally scrolling lines, it works remarkably well.

Horizontal scrolling (a.k.a. side scrolling) then?
