How to toggle softwrap + wordwrap in editor, and how to make it a default setting? about micro HOT 2 CLOSED

You can bind a custom key combo to execute both commands:

bind Alt-r "command:set softwrap on,command:set wordwrap on"

How can I also make this the default setting every time that I open micro? So that I can start micro with these settings applied, every time, then easily disable them if needed.

The set command sets the setting permanently (by writing it to ~/.config/micro/settings.json). So if you have executed set softwrap on or set wordwrap on, it should already be enabled by default every time you start micro.

If you want to change the setting temporarily, you can use setlocal instead of set. It changes a setting only for the current session of micro (i.e. without saving it to settings.json), and only for the current file, not for other files opened in other tabs or split panes.
