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

      There is a way to do it in Scintilla:
      SCI_SETMARGINLEFT and SCI_SETMARGINRIGHT set margins, in pixels.

      Not that I’d use it much, but there were a couple of times I wished the feature was there. Now you have pointed out what the underlying engine can do for this (it works, I’ve checked!).

      For the real life, it’s of no use though. Who would want to set the width in pixels? To be usable by an end user, it needs a script that would calculate pixel width for the current font and also handle widows resize.

      These are just theoretical thoughts since you also advised a practicl way to set the desired width (with side panels).

      Thank you!

      @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.

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

      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).

      @Lycan-Thrope

      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.
