[...] A more interesting question is, is there any way to make TextMate wrap on a column that is _not_ the one where soft-wrapping occurs? What if I want to type away madly in a nice, spacious window, but then wrap to 80 characters for someone on a legacy terminal?
Move caret to column 80, now use ⇧⌘← to select to the beginning of the line. Press ⌥ once to switch to column selection and then do the ⌃Q to reflow — with a column selection, it will reflow the paragraph to be within the left/right edges of that selection, so this is also handy for indented paragraphs (e.g. after ⇧⌘← use ⇧→ a few times to give the paragraph some indent, or alternatively move the reflowed paragraphs around afterwards with ⌃⌘ + arrow keys).
