set soft-wrap enabled by default in markdown files

closes #8331

What is the behavior of overrides with the language setting? If this is set to true by default for markdown, and you toggle the global option off, what wins? I'd still like to be able to toggle it off at runtime.

Question

[dead10ck]

Just tried it out locally. I can confirm that the language setting always wins. And it goes both ways: even if you set it to false in your own languages.toml, you can't turn it on at runtime either.

This seems like a broader issue that's tangential to this PR, but I'd consider it a blocker for this, unfortunately.

The language overwrite wins so this indeed removes the possibility of a runtime toggle.

Stuff like this is what I would like to address with the scope system in #8853

Ah, thanks Pascal, somehow that issue flew under my radar. I'll take a read through it when I get some time.

Glad you catched the misbehaviour! I think we can close this, since it's a simple PR, and discuss the config overhaul.

[pascalkuthe]

Just to expand: You would be able to set config in different scipes lik in kakoune so you could do:

• :set markdown softwrap.enable false
• :set buffer softwrap.enable false
• :set buffer-language softwrap.enable false
• :set global softwrap.enable false

Each lf these scope are essentially their own full comfig (with the same inheritance rules as we have currently) so even all the first 3 options could be used to disable softwrap for markdown with this PR merged (last option is the same the current set does, the second last option would overwrite the setting for the current buffer and the first two would change the language settings)

Yeah let's close this out for now pending the config changes in #8853
