TIL Nano, the simple text editor that comes with MacOS, does line wrapping by default.
This makes it unsuitable for editing #python or #csv files.
@peterdrake Is there not a config option for this?
@trinsec Yes, you can get the desired behavior with either a command-line flag or a config file. I was just surprised to see this as the default.
@peterdrake I'm not. I'm sure many users might want to just edit a textfile, then nowrap is kind of an inconvenience.
@trinsec If you're editing prose paragraphs, TextEdit might be a more natural choice. Soft wrapping could also be a reasonable compromise.
What's really surprising is that, according to the responses, this nano has the *opposite* behavior of nano on other platforms.
