Pretty with word wrapping support

muhammed | Last updated: Jun 23, 2020 04:40AM UTC

Hi, I think it would be better if you guys support word-wrap for Pretty feature, since working with JSON, some of the values are long and we have to use horizontal scrollbar, and for copying and dragging, it's really worse when you miss. Please consider adding this feature, thanks so much.

Thanks for the feedback. We've got a record of it and have passed it on to the Product Team to review. This forum post is linked so we can update this thread with updates.

I would also love this - pretty printing is a nice feature to have, but without wrapping it's unusable in many cases.

Thanks for the feedback, we've added a note to record that you're interested in this feature too.

This is a Pretty big pain point at the moment. I'd much rather default to the "Raw" tab and avoid Pretty entirely without support for word-wrap. An option to choose the default tab would help, and might be a good idea. Though if Pretty had word-wrap I probably wouldn't need to use Raw. As it stands now, for every request I review, I have to click Raw, sometimes on both the request and response, and cannot quickly arrow through them like I used since most of the body will be out of view.

Hey @Jeffrey, you can turn off Pretty by default. Hi @Michelle, is there any update on this?

I'm afraid we don't have any timescales for this feature request as yet, we'll post on this thread when there is an update.

I believe this issue was forgotten

We haven't forgotten about this one, we're monitoring requests for this feature so I'll add your vote to the list

Hello, why it's already been months with multiple updates but this suggestion is still not accepted since everyone needs it?

Michelle, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Feb 10, 2021 11:56AM UTC

We've passed on your feedback to the team and added your vote to the list too.

Thanks for the feedback, that's been added

This would be one of the most important feature additions to me. I wouldn't have to constantly switch to raw.

Thanks for the feedback, we've added your vote too.

Hi, may i know how's going on with this feature request? Because all i see are just "added feedback to the list", ... without updating anything. It's been through a lot of verions lately but can't this feature be released?

Ben, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Jul 14, 2021 10:50AM UTC
