Bases Wrap Text

An Obsidian plugin that adds an Excel-style Wrap Text toggle to Bases table views. When enabled, long cell content wraps to multiple lines instead of being truncated to a single line.

Features

• Ribbon icon to toggle wrapping on/off
• Three row-height levels: medium (2x), tall (4x), extra (8x)
• Command palette: Toggle auto wrap and Cycle row-height level
• Auto-restores the compact row height when the plugin is disabled

Usage

1. Open a .base file and switch to its Table view.
2. Click the Wrap Text ribbon icon in the left sidebar.
3. Use the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+P) → Cycle row-height level to switch between medium / tall / extra.

How it works

Instead of fighting Bases' virtualized absolute-positioned grid with CSS/JS (which causes rows to overlap), this plugin changes the rowHeight view setting in the current .base file. Bases natively supports short / medium / tall / extra row heights and re-renders correctly on its own — so wrapping never breaks the layout.
