How can I switch word wrap on and off in Visual Studio Code?

Since v1.0 you can toggle word wrap:

  • with the new command editor.action.toggleWordWrap, or
  • from the View menu (*View** → Toggle Word Wrap), or
  • using the ALT+Z keyboard shortcut (for Mac: +Z).

It can also be controlled with the following settings:

  • editor.wordWrap
  • editor.wordWrapColumn
  • editor.wrappingIndent

Known issues:

  1. renderLineHighlight should highlight the entire logical line
