[Launchpad Bug Tracker <318517@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Timothy Arceri (t-fridey) has assigned this bug to you for gedit in Ubuntu:

Binary package hint: gedit

When wrapping a line it would be awesome to have gedit indent the
wrapped line just like the original line.

Imagine "_" being a space character, the current wrapping works like
this

____hello hello hello hello hello
hello hello hello

It would be better if it worked like this:

____hello hello hello hello hello
____hello hello hello

While editing this makes code-indentation readable even if the editing
window is resized to be very narrow. It is also very helpful for
unavoidable long lines, like regexps or URLs. It makes formatting less
of a pain with generated code. etc etc etc

KDE editor component and Eclipse both have this behaviour, it was also
present in the famous EditPlus editor for Windows.

I am sure i am not the first person requesting this feature, so i wonder
if there is a philosophical stance against this wrapping style or if a
plugin is available to handle it.
