Internal viewer text display width limitation

[OUrm7Vo2]

Limitation appears to be 512 characters.

Why is this so pray tell?

I deal with very long lines routinely...

Because Lister only loads a small part of the file into memory (64k), so the entire visible area has to fit in the buffer.

You can use a Lister plugin for text like synplus or so which loads the entire file into memory.

I agree with topic starter that it would be nice to have such option for built-in Lister.

You can set
TextWidth=1024
in wincmd.ini section [Lister], that's the absolute maximum supported. But then you can no longer wrap to 80 characters.
