Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Wrapped long lines respond to up/down arrow keys in "vim style" rather than in "kwrite style". This is not "wrong" in any way, but it would be nice if this was configurable. In most editors based on widget frameworks (Qt, Gtk), a long line wrapped for display can be navigated by arrow keys as if it consisted of multiple separate lines, i.e., the up/down arrow keys don't necessarily move to a different (file's pysical) line number.
