how to view sideways?

[goyalyashpal]

• i was in some file i guess it was a typesetting one - hence, it had extremely long lines.
• i had made some selection, then applied search on it.
• now, there came a situation where i needed to view the latter part of the line...

But i couldn't due to lack of soft-wrap, and as i would loose the selection if move cursor to right.

1. so, question is, how to move the view sideways (left/right)?
2. and while at it, after 2520 Allow cursor to go off-screen #2134 will be solved, is there any other way for doing zjzjzjzjzj as the popup appearing makes it jittery?

though i know that soft-wrap is being baked, but still, it would be nice to have view sideways too i guess - for those going to be rare occassions where someone will not be using soft-wrap.

Current View options z are:

Two things there is now softwrap if you build from master, and you can use capital Z to make view mode "sticky" and then just continuously press j

thanks for sharing how to make view mode sticky. nice :)

Yes, i was aware about soft-wrap 😇

so, why doesn't view mode has h or l ??

that with sticky view Z would be all i need 🤔
