Shortest Answer Ever

Try adding a ' \ ' in between the lines of code you need to split.

This allows you to split your code over different lines and helps it look prettier.

Answer 2

In addition to Dan's answer, you can apply line wrapping for all cells (code or markdown) by specifying the top object as Cell. Adding the code below to your ~/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json

{
  "Cell": {
    "cm_config": {
      "lineWrapping": true
    }
  }
}

Ex: This is my cell config

{
  "Cell": {
    "cm_config": {
      "lineNumbers": false,
      "lineWrapping": true
    }
  }
}

Answer 3

Find your configuration directory via jupyter --config-dir (mine is ~/.jupyter). Then edit or create nbconfig/notebook.json to add the following:

{
  "MarkdownCell": {
    "cm_config": {
      "lineWrapping": true
    }
  },
  "CodeCell": {
    "cm_config": {
      "lineWrapping": true
    }
  }
}

(If you have something else in it, ensure you have valid JSON with no trailing commas after }s.)

Restart Jupyter and reload your notebook.
