How to decrease padding size?

[javeoff]

I have left pading with 3 spaces, how to decrease it?

I have the exact same question, mine it much larger than your as well.

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, it seems like simrat39 isn't very active in this plugin lately, so a few days ago I've decided to fork the repo to implement a lot of features people have asked for and fixes users reported from this repo.

Thanks @sudoCompetence for the suggested fix. Unfortunately, the extra padding does not originate from window settings, but it is due to symbols-outline guide markers. Below is the diff which, I believe, is the actual fix to this issue.

I've recently pushed this fix to my fork.

You are welcome to try it out but do note that some new features may be experimental (unstable). These along with other fixes are listed in the readme.
