As far I know there is no way to disable wraping very long lines in mintty,
which I my opinion makes harder to fast analyze logging output (eg.
postgresql detailed log). Normally cygwin i.e. bash is running as cmd.exe
subprocess and display it's output there, where long lines could be
displayed without wraping. That is possible in cmd, when one set 'Screen
Buffer Size - width' to larger value than 'Window Size - width'.
Such a solution - add controlled buffer width size in addition to mintty
window size, will be very usefull, and will make possibility to prevent
long lines wrapping.
In addition to that, when buffer width > window width,
and there is need to scroll window horizontally
one should be able to:
-disable/enable horizontal scroller
-scroll window horizontally by key combination
-scroll window horizontally by mouse whell + some enabler key eg. left alt
(like in Adobe's apps - photoshop/illustrator etc.)
