Change automatic qml reformatting column wrapping
-
In QtCreator it is possible to automatically format QML files using Tools > Qml/Js > Reformat file. The reformatting works well except that I would like to change the column value used to wrap code onto the next line from 80 to a higher value. Does anyone know how to do this?

I found a solution (sort of). Unfortunately the line length is hard coded in a file called qmljsreformatter.cpp which is built as a part of the qmljs.dll. So there are two ways you can change the line length that the QML / Javascript formatter uses:
-
Get the Qt Creator source code and build a version yourself with the maxLineLength set to whatever you want.
-
if you have Qt Creator 5.1 you could patch the qmljs.dll's bytes yourself using a hex editor to set the line length to a more sensible value of 125.
