📄 Description

I developed some simple code to limit the line widths printed to the screen to avoid line wrapping.
I find this useful when running a vertical split screen with two instances running.
I've tested it under Windows in both a standard command window and Terminal with a split screen.
The code is operating system independent.
A value of 999 will autodetect the screen width and use that width for the truncation

Note: Logging is not impacted, and the full strings are written to the log file.

I realize that this PR may not be of general interest for you to merge. No issue if so. I'm just sharing some code that might improve someone's experience.
