Step Two: Enable Soft Wrap

A screenshot of the preferences window that appears in Android Studio. Highlighted is the Soft Wrap section found under Editor > General. Make sure you check off the "Soft Wrap these files" checkbox and include "*.*" as the files that it should soft wrap to software all the files.

In the Preferences window, under Editor > General, turn on Soft Wrap using settings similar to those above.

Please note that we used *.* to make it soft wrap all files. If you wish to target specific files use nomenclature similar to "*.md" for markdown only or ".txt; .dart" for soft wrapping text and dart files only.
