I would like to see the whole line inside the window while using Geany, like the way Gedit handles it. I have looked through the settings, but I cannot find anything that does that. Is there something I missed in the settings, or is there another way to accomplish what I want?

I was looking for this too but found no answer. And then accidentally found it in

Edit->Preferences->Various->show_editor_scrollbars

This affects both the horizontal and vertical scrollbars though.

For Linux ( Ubuntu 16.04 )

Go to ~/.config/geany/geany.conf and add this below line to the very top-

horizontal.scrollbar=0

It'll hide your horizontal scrollbar. And don't forget to turn on wrapping line.

Actually Geany is built on top of Scintilla. And this ~/.config/geany/geany.conf file is the configuration file for Scintilla instance used in Geany. Therefore we can use this options here at geany.conf file to modify Geany as we like.

I know it's kinda late, but I felt like this thing is worth sharing. So I'm hoping this will help some people.

Geany's editor has a line-wrapping feature which you can set in your preferences, as described here:
