How do I set the maximum line length in PyCharm?

I am using PyCharm on Windows and want to change the settings to limit the maximum line length to 79 characters, as opposed to the default limit of 120 characters.

Where can I change the maximum amount of characters per line in PyCharm?


Here is screenshot of my Pycharm. Required settings is in following path: File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> General: Right margin (columns)

For PyCharm 2018.3 on Windows:

File -> Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S), then Editor -> Code Style:

To follow PEP-8 set Hard wrap at to 80.


For PyCharm 4

File >> Settings >> Editor >> Code Style: Right margin (columns)

suggestion: Take a look at other options in that tab, they're very helpful


You can even set a separate right margin for HTML. Under the specified path:

File >> Settings >> Editor >> Code Style >> HTML >> Other Tab >> Right margin (columns)

This is very useful because generally HTML and JS may be usually long in one line than Python. :)
