      Feature Request / Question: Soft Wrap at Vertical Edge (Column 80) regardless of window size

      Not that soft wrapping of text at a specified column other than window width is something I do, but I can think of a few reasons why one may wish to avoid resizing the window, particularly so that it’s only 80 columns wide, to accomplish the desired effect: So that the menus and tool bar aren’t adversely affected.

      If I wanted to achieve custom soft wrapping myself, I’d prefer NOT changing my window size specifically because I prefer having NPP open in the same custom location and size every time I run it, and I’d have to reverse my window size changes before closing NPP in order to maintain that.

      One could also increase the zoom level until the desired wrapping occurs, though that, too, would have the potentially negative side effect of reducing the amount of text visible at a time.

      so if I’ve already auto-updated from 8.8.8 to 8.9.1, would it be necessary or advised to run it again, manually?

      Once you have v8.9.1 installed, it won’t be necessary to update your Notepad++ manually - you can just let auto-updater do its job.

      @PeterJones, I certainly wasn’t being critical of Notepad++ because of this. I’m just surprised to learn that it doesn’t have that feature.

      I thought since the Everything search program and the DuckDuckGo search box prevent text from spreading out and keep it all in one line, it would be possible for it to be done in Notepad++, and there are several useful reasons to have that feature (some that I’m not aware of) that others would find useful.

      I thought that with all of the functionality in this software, it would have a feature to ignore those codes. Something akin to Paste Special > Unformatted Text, More Options in LibreOffice Writer that could be done with a one-click feature.

      See the FAQ, which has the best summary I can make, as of 2026-Feb-04; if new information is available, the FAQ will be updated. ALL followups/discussions must go in Topic: autoupdater and connection to temp.sh. This tangent is LOCKED.

      Were the binaries released on GitHub affected in the Notepad++ state-sponsored hacking incident?

      @David-Brown i came here to let you know that my receipt had what appears to be his email address on it (which i’ve blocked out here for privacy):

      seems legit to me, but i can’t know for sure. :)

      @Ilhan-Yumer ,

      The developer does not read most posts in this Forum. If you would like to suggest such a move to the developer, I would recommend creating a new Issue at GitHub requesting it (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues).

      Turns out it was an issue with the GPU driver, which has now been patched.
