Padding & Margins
Adjustable terminal padding is not available in stable v0.5.1.
Availability
The advertised workflow is not available as a connected feature in stable v0.5.1. Source components or future work do not make it a shipped capability.
Reviewed against stable v0.5.1. Rust candidate additions are labeled separately. Release status.
The pain this solves
- Some users prefer more or less space around terminal text.
What ships with it
- Stable v0.5.1 has fixed internal layout spacing but no user-adjustable terminal padding or margin setting.
Questions this answers
- Can I set custom terminal padding in Chau7?
- Can I change the terminal's left and right margins?
- Is padding adjustable per profile?
How it works
The v0.5.1 settings and terminal appearance stores do not expose a configurable terminal padding or margin value.
The rendering code contains internal spacing values for layout and grid sizing. Those implementation constants are not a user-facing padding control.
Do not describe padding as adjustable per tab, profile, or window in the stable app.
Why it matters
Some terminal users want more or less space around text, but stable v0.5.1 does not expose this customization. The feature page should not imply that a padding slider or per-profile margin setting exists.
Frequently asked questions
Can I configure terminal padding in stable v0.5.1?
No user-facing terminal padding or margin setting is present in that tag.
Are the internal rendering margins configurable?
The source uses internal layout spacing, but it is not exposed as a preference.
