How to enable word wrap in Visual Studio for Mac?

As of VS Mac 8.1, Word Wrap is available via Visual Studio -> Preferences -> Text Editor -> General. You should see a checkbox option for Word wrap.

Thanks to Matt Ward for let me know that this isn't implemented yet, but I managed to play around with the preferences. It's not perfect as VS for Windows, but it's close enough.

(Sorry that the VS for Mac is in spanish)

1) I made a few modifications in text files: 120 columns and remove the whitespaces at the end of the line.

Settings for plain text

2) Since I'm using a Macbook pro mid 2012 my screen resolution it's limited to 1280x80, so in XML files I set only 3 attributes per line, adjust the attributes and align the attributes.

3) I made modifications in C# but was only to set the system's using at the end of the block.

4) Finally, I made a keyboard shortcut for "Format the document" Format the document
