I tried to follow the procedure here Code length limiter in Notepad++ but I have version 8.6.8 and the menu settings > preferences looks different:

Neither in Editing 1 or Editing 2, I can find the option to change the column width or enabling the optional "show vertical edge".

Where can I change this?

For newer version of Notepad++:

  1. Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Margins/Borders/Edge.
  2. On the Vertical Edge Settings box, set the number of characters per column.

This is how the page will appear after settings the vertical edges per column.
