Reformatting text (or, better, LaTeX) in 80 columns in SciTE

Question

I recently dived into LaTeX, starting with a WYSIWYM editor such as Lix. Now I look at writing tex files in Sci-TE, it already has the syntax, and I adapted the tex.properties file to work on Windows, showing a preview in Go [F5]

One nice thing Lyx encounters, and it’s hard to do with a regular text editor, is to format the text in 80 columns: I can write a paragraph and press Return every time I get closer to the border column, but if after the first draft, I want to add or cut a few words here and there, I end up breaking the layout and having to change new lines.

It would be helpful to have a tool in Sci-TE so that I could select a paragraph of text that I added or deleted a few words and redid it into 80 columns. Something probably didn’t work on the whole document, as it could possibly break the supposed supposed line break.

Perhaps I could easily write a Python plugin for geany, I saw that vim has something similar, but I would like to know if it is also possible in Sci-TE.

Please note that this is almost the same functionality as in geany- it inserts lines when entering text - but not when clicking on the backspace, as well as when copying / pasting.
