Tue 25 Feb 2020 02:24:36 PM UTC, comment #1: Maybe there are ways to handle this better, but... it would involve a lot of reworking of the display routines, because they are all geared to showing each line in full -- the softwrapping is something that was bolted on afterwards.

I normally enable softwrap, but when working on a file with a line with over 500,000 characters (don't ask) nano grinds to a halt even when doing things like moving the cursor. Maybe there's some performance left on the table for this edge case, or a way to handle it better? |

Any patch to improve the efficiency of softwrapping is welcome. But personally I am not going to work on this.
