visual-line-mode is very useful to wrap lines with the window size changing without inserting any newlines. But in org-mode, it also wraps the headline and source blocks which is a little bit annoying.
So here comes my question: How can I turn off visual-line-mode for org-heading and source blocks permanently in org-mode?
Another solution is to use adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode.
This way you'll see the full header and source but it will wrap nicely indented.

The package phscroll written by misohena perfectly solved the problem. It adds overlays to beginning/end of line if the width of elements like org-table exceeds the length, while keeps the line-wraps work.
Currently it only supports org-table, but theoretically it can be extended to almost all org elements.
This is a good question! The same issue applies when you have an Org table that is wider than fill-column. What I do is open the section in an indirect buffer with org-tree-to-indirect-buffer i.e. C-c C-x b. And in the indirect buffer, I disable visual-line-mode for editing that section.
adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode. Pityingly the solution is cumbersome. But, that is not your fault. truncate-lines, then you can enjoy the unwrapped table, which is pretty nice.
(setq word-wrap t)and truncate(setq truncate-lines t) different portions of the same buffer, I'll definitely make this thread one of my favorites!(setq truncate-lines t)and(setq word-wrap nil). When I edit any entry or if I just want to zoom-in/focus on one entry in particular, I have it set to narrow to subtree, at which time it wraps withvisual-line-mode-- aka(setq word-wrap t)and(setq truncate-lines nil). When I finish editing, it widens and goes back to truncated lines.
