Solution

  • You can use word wrapping, if that is what you want.

    :set wm=2
:set textwidth=72

    To apply these settings to existing text, use the gq command. To apply it to all the text, just hit the following sequence:

    <ESC>
gg
gq
G

    Or first select a portion of the text followed by gq.
