+Sometimes when typing vim will automatically start a newline. This is an expected behavior but at
+times can be really annoying. Ex working with macros, you can recored one on a short line that
+breaks on longer lines 😟. The amount of text before vim will break to new line while typing is
+controlled via the **textwidth** setting. So a fix is pretty simple. If don't want the behavior just set
+**textwidth** to a big number. ex:
+
+```
+: set tw=500
+```
+
+Here is a asciicast of the problem and solution in action:
