I use Komodo Edit 8.5 and i want to set the word wrap automatically on, when i'm opening a file. Unfortunately i can't find this setting in "Edit > Preferences". Can you help me? And exists there a possiblity to change this settings in the 'prefs.xml'-file?

The word wrap preferences are located in the following hierarchy:

  • Edit|Preferences|Editor|Smart Editing

If you want to set it using prefs.xml, here is the setting:

  • <long id="editAutoWrapColumn">80</long>

I would advice against editing prefs.xml directly, in this case the Pref UI should suffice but if you wish to manually modify a pref it's safer to use the API:

ko.prefs.setBooleanPref()

or 

ko.prefs.setStringPref()

You can use a macro or the Extension Developer addon to access the API.
