Description:
While not imperative, I would find it particularly helpful if there were a word wrap option available for the SQL Editor. 

How to repeat:
Type/copy a query into the editor longer than the width of the field, and it doesn't wrap. 

Suggested fix:
It could exist as a checkbox option under the Query Editor section of the SQL Editor tab in Preferences.

My team has been long waiting for this function, and wish it resolved as early as possible.

would love to see this added in an upcoming release. it would make it a lot easier to edit queries, etc.

Please add this feature.  It's difficult to write even a very simple view without it running offscreen, particularly when editing.

First time user here.  Word wrap is the very first thing I looked for.
