FAQ

Can it cut inside an English word?

In character mode, word-boundary truncation is on by default and prefers a nearby space. Disable it for a strict character cut.

Does the suffix count toward the limit?

By default it does not. Enable Count suffix toward the keep limit to reserve room for the suffix inside the budget.
