Modern software does not require additional keystrokes every few lines but it can breaks automatically. For example currently writing this mail I haven't presses enter so far (no copy newline from another editor etc.). It automatically wraps the line as I write. I don't have to break my concentration - I just write. Even if I'm inserting something in the middle it will automatically rewrap the whole paragraph - there is no need for pressing enter manually or counting characters. Regards
