Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Micro could be more userful for content writers if softwrap worked while typing a line as opposed to only after hitting enter. And softwrap could look better for writers if a break-on-word-only option were available.

Research direction

Start by reproducing softwrap while typing in micro and compare it with the current behavior after pressing Enter. Then determine how a break-on-word-only option should be exposed and what terminal behavior counts as complete; the issue names no source files or tests, so these must be located first.
