In doom emacs, by default (when starting from the default configuration), visual-line-mode and word-wrap enabled in fundamental, text, prog modes...

I would like to disable the visual-line-mode by default and keep word-wrapping. This works when I do M-x visual-line-mode, and I have the desired effect:

However I don't know how to do it properly to disable it by default. Few attempts:

  1. adding in config.el:

    (global-visual-line-mode 0)
    (visual-line-mode 0)
    

    doesn't make any effect

  2. Adding the following hook disables word wrapping, and subsequent call to (toggle-word-wrap) doesn't work:

    (add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (visual-line-mode 0)))
    

    so overall the effect is wrong (note: the lines are not unfolded): enter image description here:

The docs for global-visual-line-mode say:

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is ‘toggle’. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

So try

(global-visual-line-mode -1)

  • doesn't work. By some reason Doom Emacs keeps setting both variables (visual-line-mode and global-visual-line-mode) to t. Commented Jan 2, 2022 at 23:26
  • @RobertZaremba did you manage to do this?

  • This is what I'm using: (global-visual-line-mode 0) (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook (lambda () (toggle-truncate-lines 0))) Commented May 26, 2022 at 22:10
