A number of people have commented on the lack of word or line wrapping in ColdFusion. I whined to Adam Lehman about it, and he set me straight.
You can find it in the preferences:
Preferences -> HTML -> Editors
Under Editors there is a toggle button for General/Advanced. Click "Advanced"
Option reads "Enable Word Wrap" It will require a restart of ColdFusion Builder.
We're talking about perhaps seeing if we can't make this more obvious.

The word wrap looks and works really well. You might even like it! ;)

I'm running the stand-alone version, on Windows Vista Home Premium.
One thing that leapt to mind when you said Adobe were looking at putting the option somewhere more obvious was "well... yes, definitely. Why would one expect a setting under the HTML options have any impact of CF templates anyhow?" I could understand if it switched line wrap on for HTM/HTML files, but that option shouldn't impact CFM/CFC files at all, should it? If it's a global option for all file types, it should be under Prefs > General > Editors, shouldn't it?
In reality, though, this option should be on a toolbar somewhere on the main edit screen, I think. And it should be toggle-able without needing to restart the workspace.
Cheers for the tip though. Any thoughts as to why it dun't work for me?

Why not put it in the right click button menu at the top and a text based icon that is easily visible?
While were on the general topic of ease of use: is there a way to bookmark files that one is currently working on so we don't have to go through the project heirarchy or create projects that just contain those files? How about under tasks or a work in progress pallete we have a choice of adding all open documents to the pallet, naming it and then call it back up instead of going through setting up a new project.
Finally, under the CRS heading, one feature of dreamweaver that was appreciated that I can't seem to find here was Inserts. I see it on the html, JS, CSS and CFML but I'd like to see SPRY or our choice of insets based on Ajax frameworks, Jquery etc.

Who would ever think those would be advanced options?
In any case, does anyone know how to jump to a particular line number? (Like using Ctrl-G in Dreamweaver... man I am happy to dump Dreamweaver!!)

Ctrl-L to jump to a line number.
