Problem

In both grid and table modes, line width can exceed the number of columns in the terminal. In such cases automatic wrapping is applied.

Description

When terminal width is known, we can use intelligent line wrapping to more elegantly handle such output.

Alternatives

Custom wrapping won't always work because:

  • terminals can be resized, which will break the wrapping
  • extremely long file names, which need to be broken over multiple lines will look terrible
