Describe the request

Some users (including me) get confused by the Alt+Z keyboard shortcut for the IDE's line wrapping settings. I accidentally enabled line wrapping by pressing that keyboard shortcut instead of the similar commonly used shortcut for Undo (Ctrl+Z). I found the answer in the Arduino Forums (https://forum.arduino.cc/t/line-wrapping-issue-in-arduino-ide/1249081). It would be an improvement to have a visual control in the Settings panel indicating the wrapping setting and a visual way to change the setting.
