It's far less useful than it is for HTML files, for sure; but the most common reasons I launch an external editor is for multi-cursor or little text editor niceties I don't think it'd be reasonable to expect Code View to replicate. And for a long time I didn't write any CSS in Sigil, only VS Code or Sublime, so sometimes it's just a muscle memory/comfort thing when I'm in a hurry. Though I do find that I don't leave Sigil nearly as often as I used to.

I usually combine NoWrap with the additional replace of /n/n to single /n to make code checking run faster.

I just decided that I wanted to have such an option, even if it was useful to me relatively rarely. And I couldn't reach NoWrap through the plugin.
Yep, that's the thread I found when I first searched for this, and learned that for some it seems like kind of an odd thing to want. Definitely not something I would use every day, but it'd be a handy feature!
