Feature request: setting for margins for all sides, particularly left and right #2636

I'd like to use micro as a minimal writing program for stories, and the main thing that's stopping me is the lack of left and right margins

It's purely aesthetic and I could probably get used to just resizing my terminal. But I think it would be nice to have as a setting, or at least a plugin

+100 from my side, I also use it as a writing tool and have the same thoughts about it. I also opened a question to this: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/2374 But when I think about it, I find your way a lot better. This and the implementation of quoter-plugin by default - perfect!

Resizing terminal may be confusing in a split view, with two or more texts opened in several view columns. So, yes, adding line margins would be great for editing prose.

Thank you so much. Zellij did it. It took a bit of digging around but its exactly what I wanted. Its literally perfect. Nothing but the text and not too wide. Yes!

In case someone else stumbles on this

zellij --layout thing.kdl
layout {
    pane split_direction="vertical"  {
        pane borderless=true size="20%" command="reset"
        pane borderless=true size="60%" command="micro" {
                args "Path/to/document"
        }
        pane borderless=true size="20%" command="reset"
    }
}
