[REQ] Lister: use whole window width for text wrapping

Currently lister wraps lines of text at 75 characters. With default font, it makes for just 1/3 of my screen size. How about increasing it?
ADDED: I've been pointed that number of characters can be changed in options.
It helps, but not much. I sometimes work in a windowed mode. And on 2 machines with different resolutions. I would really like to have it change automatically.

"Wrap to window width" option or saving TextWidth value according to resolution (i.e. TextWidth_1280x1024) could be nice.

I support this request as a built-in function in lister too.
An exotic solution could be a tri-state of line wrap pressing the W key:
- No wrap
- Wrap text (as defined in options)
- Wrap text to width of lister area.
Or perhaps better add a new short-cut for switch among wrap line (to width of lister window) and no wrap. (SHIFT+W)

Meantime... Did you try with the lister plugin that you and I use?

SciLister? Though it's the fastest highlighting plugin, it's not fast enough. For this reason, I view texts with cm_ListInternalOnly unless I have a lot of code to browse.
And SciLister doesn't scroll page down on spacebar.
The triple action sounds nice...but I'd rather have wrapping text into multiple columns for easier reading. Could be under W.
