      When I copy text (from a webpage, for instance) and paste it in a Notepad++ .txt file, not all lines have numbers. Here’s an example:

      Can I set Notepad++ to ALWAYS show line numbers regardless of the formatting of the text I pasted?

        I assume you have “Wrap” enabled. On the View menu it can be turned off.

          Yes, but that disables… well, word wrapping and you have to scroll right to see everything. It just doesn’t work.

            Well, it does work - maybe not how you want it to behave but how it was supposed to do it.

            If you want to have different line numbers shown for a single line while having word wrap enabled
            I don’t see how this can be achieved without modifying the text.

            Cheers
