Is there fully-automatic fill-paragraph-mode for code comments?
I'm looking for a minor mode to keep paragraphs filled at all times while typing (similar to what aggressive-indent-mode does for indentation). It also needs to be smart enough to only fill comments (and maybe strings depending on the…

This is similar to Editing files with one-sentence-per-line (in function as well as motive), but I wish to have a full, flowing paragraph rather than visual breaks at every sentence.

fill-paragraph marks file as changed, even if it didn't do anything
Whenever I call fill-paragraph, the buffer is always marked as modified, even if the command had no effect (i.e. if the paragraph was already filled). It also creates an empty undoable action (easily detected with undo-tree-mode). Other commands…

How to fill (wrap) an org mode heading?
I would like to fill (wrap) a long heading in org mode. I don't see mention of how to do so in the org manual.

markdown-mode is

How can I fill-paragraph a string according to its value rather than its input syntax?
