Word wrapping in PyCharm Python Console?
ConsolePycharmConsole Problem Overview
Anybody here who knows, if and how I could enable word wrap in the Python console for long lines? I can't see them as a whole, I have always to scroll the window to the righit, to get all informations. I have only 5 Buttons offered: rerun, stop, close, execute current statement, help.
(in contrast to this, in Event Log, I see buttons called "Use soft wraps".)
Console Solutions
Solution 1 - Console
for version 3.4.1:
View -> Active Editor -> Use Soft Wraps
Solution 2 - Console
I found the answer here:
File -> Settings -> Editor -> "Virtual Space" group -> Use soft wraps in console
In Pycharm version 2018.3.3 it can be found under
File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Console: Use soft wraps in console
Solution 3 - Console
Starting with Pycharm Community Edition 2016.1, the settings mentioned in other answers are gone.
However, with the debug console opened (i.e. run your python script), click the Use Soft Wraps button there, this will also affect the python console, without any restart needed.
Solution 4 - Console
For PyCharm version 4.5, soft wrap can be enabled as a global default here:
File > Settings > Editor > General > Soft Wraps > "Use soft wraps in editor"
Solution 5 - Console
Community edition its Preferences>Editor>General>Use Soft Wraps in Editor
and then to be super cool you can go Preferences>Editor>General>Console>Use Soft Wraps in Editor
Solution 6 - Console
For Pycharm Professional 2016.3.2 on Windows:
Click on the upper half of the Python Console (i.e. the output half, not the input line at the bottom).
On the main menu select Help and Find Action... (shortcut: CTRL + SHIFT + A).
Type "soft" in the "Enter action or option name" search box.
Toggle "Active Editor: Use Soft Wraps" to On.
Run a new command with long output and you should see it soft wrapped in the Python Console. Note, that previous output will not be wrapped.
(None of the above methods worked for the Python Console -- though they did work for the Debug Console and Event Log)
Solution 7 - Console
As of 2018 - I found the setting here:
Settings -> Editor -> General -> Console -> Use soft wraps in console:
