Problem

I would like to have my lines in plain text in Notepad++ wrapped (soft wrapping for display, not insertion of line ends) after a reasonable amount of symbols (like 65 or 80). Is it possible? The only option I came across is wrapping at window width, which gives ridiculous results provided one uses high resolution, non-gigantic fonts and maximized windows.

Fix for: How do I wrap lines in Notepad++ after N symbols?

Low Risk

According to this source you can somewhat mimic such behavior at least since Notepad++ 5.7 Select “View” from menu bar. From the dropdown menu that appears click on “Word wrap” option. either open another editor in other view and move the divider (or alternatively resize editor window) until text wraps at the desired number of characters
