> Initially, i had the need to disable wrapping. I know only one way of doing that, and it's by enabling truncation (setq-default truncate-lines t).
> But i still have the fringe area and its symbols, that show truncation. If i want to remove of the symbols and free up space for buffer characters, the logical step would be to disable the fringe area '(set-fringe-mode 0)'. After doing that, the fringe area disappears only visually, i still have the truncation symbols, but now they have a form of a dollar sign. So, essentially, the fringe area is still there and i have no option to completely remove it so that all possible buffer space is taken only by its characters.

I can only suggest to use visual-line-mode, maybe it will come closer
to what you want.
