in other words automate the process of automatically starting a new line after 80 characters.

I am sure there must be a setting somewhere .....

Hmm, I do not know whether the following could help you but maybe you play with it [Is only a fast thought idea! ;) ]

- create a tmcommand in the Bundle Editor input: none output: discard command: if [ ${#TM_CURRENT_LINE} -gt $TM_COLUMNS ]; then osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke " "' -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke "q" using (control down)' -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke " "' else echo -en " " exit 203 fi

- bind that command e.g. to "space"

That command reformats the paragraph (^Q) if the current line length is greater than the wrap column setting (main menu > View > Wrap Column).
