Limit number of characters in a line notepad++

Question

For my git commits I use notepad++ and I would like to limit the number of characters in a line to 72 characters. Normally, notepad++ show a sentence in a line until \n character, but I would like to automatically enter the content to the next line if the number of words exceeds a threshold. The Line mode just shows the vertical edge without entering to the new line. Could you suggest me how to do it? Thank you.
