By default, it will be off and the lines will exceed the width of the Notepad++ window. Notepad++ also has the Word Wrap feature like most of the text editors. How to Wrap Lines in Notepad++ Wrap Lines by Using the Word Wrap Option In this article, we will teach you about how you can wrap lines in Notepad++. Using a horizontal scroll bar can be time-consuming for most users when they are checking some large documents. Some text editors like Notepad++ will not wrap lines by default because they are also used for source codes. Without the line wrap, the text in lines will exceed the width of the text editor’s window due to which the user will be unable to see the full lines. I do however think that such function could be a nice, external plugin or script.Ī possible idea for an NoEOLChecker plugin or script would be, to colour the eol mode Unix (LF) section at the status bar in red, as long as no eol is found at the last line, green if it is found, and no colour if this plugin or script is disabled for that file type.Line wrap is continuing the text on a new line when the current line is full. It is a user choice to manually add a (cr)lf to the last line or not, making it able to create a zero length files, like you would do with touch test.txt, or a single string text line without line breaks.Īs you're also very aware of any missing noeol, you will spot it immediately at the last line number,Īnd most current linux releases should not have issues with noeol files, if you forget an lf. Notepad++ has to be able to generate a file, without adding any appending characters automatically.Ī switchable setting would only shift the user's focus from having to be aware of an eol before eof, to having to be aware which eol settings are currently active, to know if a eol will be added automatically, eventually adding a second lf by accident.
