I encountered this issue as well. Adding support for this feature would improve the functionality and user experience.

By the way, I found that formatting the entire document always introduces failure in syncing, resulting to the order of words is disrupted.
Maybe formatting entire document should be disabled

If I understood correctly what you're looking for is a way to visually wrap the text in the editor without introducing line breaks.

If this is the case i generally use the "Toggle word wrap" option in vscode. You can easily toggle it on the command palette.

Yes, the "Toggle Word Wrap" option can wrap text without actually inserting new line breaks. However, the current problem is that Overleaf Workshop keeps forcing line breaks, and there’s no option to disable that formatting😂.

Hi @QianrenLi, thanks for updating! I can use this extension to format files without forcing line breaks. However, I’ve noticed that the current formatting now automatically indents the elements inside \begin{document} … \end{document}. Is there a way to adjust this behavior? Many thanks!

Currently, this feature is not available.
However, if you believe it would be a valuable addition, please feel free to open a new issue about it.

Has this been released? I would also like to disable forced line breaks

@QianrenLi Please check if PR #223 is ready for review. I can check it at night.
