I wanted to double check if there is a way to adjust how the Pseudocode view handles line break? A lot of the times I’d prefer if Pseudocode doesn’t automatically line break when a line is “too long.” Is this behavior adjustable in any of the cfgs?

Edit:

tl;dr, You an add this to the `hexrays.cfg`, it will only apply for new IDBs. You will need to manually change the setting for all existing IDBs.

```auto
RIGHT_MARGIN = 200
