xfce4-terminal line wrap

is there a way to disable the line wrap when either resizing window or for long output and instead have a horizontal scroll bar?

Re: xfce4-terminal line wrap

xfce4-terminal isn't able to do that natively, but you could use "less -S" and pipe your output to less (it supports horizontal scrolling).
For example (make the terminal window small to test):

ls -l $HOME | less -S

There is some more information here about using setterm to disable line wrapping (though you can't horizontally scroll).
