I strongly prefer that my lines don't wrap by default, so i do (set-default 'truncate-lines t). There is one notable exception, however: the minibuffer. truncate-lines says: Automatically becomes local when set in any fashion. So i expected that i could specifically set the value in the minibuffer, and it would stick from one entry into the minibuffer to the next. The problem is that the value gets lost, or more precisely, reverts to the default, each time around. set-default says: The default value is seen in buffers that do not have their own values for this variable. I guess the conclusion is that the minibuffer doesn't have its own value for truncate-lines? Is there some sort of hook i can use for this? I know i can hack a function which will both expand the minibuffer and set its value for truncate-lines to nil, but i'm looking for something that i don't have to constantly re-invoke.
