Feature Request: Word wrap / soft wrap in diff view and Markdown source view #9017

Description

Describe the solution you'd like?

Please add a word wrap / soft wrap option for the following two views:

1. Code diff view

When reviewing git diff output or diffs in Warp's built-in file viewer, long lines extend beyond the viewport and require horizontal scrolling. Soft wrap would make reviewing diffs directly in Warp feasible without having to open a separate IDE.

2. Markdown source view (raw/source mode)

When viewing a .md file in source/raw mode (not the rendered preview), long lines also require horizontal scrolling. Word wrap in source view would allow inline review of markdown files comfortably.

Ideally, the preference should be:

  • Persistent across sessions (saved in settings), OR
  • Togglable via keyboard shortcut (e.g. Alt+Z, similar to VS Code)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently the only options are:

  1. Scroll horizontally — very uncomfortable for long lines
  2. Open the file in an external editor/IDE — breaks the terminal workflow

Additional context

Related (but different) issues:

Neither of the above covers the diff view or Markdown source/raw view use cases.
