Re: Truncate instead of wrap

If the terminal is too skinny and a line is too wide to fit on the screen, I
want the line to be truncated instead of it overflowing onto the next line.
Is there a simple setting to do this?

no - waddch and waddstr wrap "always".

(you could write a similar function that calls waddch and checks the position
after each character using getyx).

In my print method for such cases, say print_status, I check length of string and truncate if it exceeds window size (Ncurses.COLS) or print whole.
I have not tried resizing window and testing.
