Wrap lines in vim's scratch buffer but not elsewhere

Question

I have set nowrap in my vim config file but there's one place where I need line wrapping: the scratch buffer (because the text that shows up there usually doesn't stick to 80 columns). Is there a way to enable line wrapping for the scratch buffer but not other buffers?

Answer 1

The question is about vim's command-line (also known as the colon line). That does not wrap.

However, vim documents a special command-line window, for entering complex commands, which helps a little.

If you edit the command-line window, you can set its wrap mode separately from the other windows, using the local setl option e.g.,

:setl wrap
