Is there a way I can get a vertical marker line to appear at the 80th character column in notepad++?

Here it marks way before the 80 mark. – José – 2015-07-26T20:53:09.143

That works, thanks! But strangely, it seems to be off by two columns for me when you compare it to the column counter in the status bar. – speedplane – 2012-05-03T05:17:34.217

@speedplane: yeah I just noticed that! then number-of-columns: 78 haha? – jay – 2012-05-03T13:26:52.363

4At some point before v6.5.2, the column number location has been fixed so is no longer off by two. – Smalltown2k – 2014-03-08T18:20:14.687
