 Use `:word_wrap.toggle`, the **Toggle word wrap** palette action, or `config.core.word_wrap.toggle` in a custom binding. Wrapping defaults to **off** for new buffers and has **no default keybinding**. Each ordinary buffer retains its own setting; toggling does not edit text or enter undo history.
 
+Toggling preserves the source caret and anchors a visible caret to its previous screen row in ordinary and diff buffers. File boundaries clamp the anchor when there are not enough preceding rows. Horizontal position follows the reflowed text.
+
 Text wraps at word boundaries where possible, with grapheme-safe breaks for long words. Whitespace is preserved; tabs keep their source-column stops and wide/combining Unicode characters retain their geometry. Only the first display segment shows a line number. Syntax and semantic colors, diagnostics, search matches, selections, and cursors follow the wrapped text. Motions and counts still use source lines, so `j`/`k`, Home/End, and saved file contents are unchanged. Vertical wheel input scrolls continuation rows; switching wrapping off restores horizontal scrolling.
