Wrapping in Notepad++

Question

I know the Python coding standard has a limit of 78 characters per line. I am working in Notepad++ and how do I set it so it wraps after 78 characters?

Answer 1

There's a good writeup in the Notepad++ User Manual about managing line lengths. It suggests using the Settings -> Preferences -> Editing -> Vertical edge settings. There doesn't appear to be a way to have it automatically wrap to a new line as you are typing.
