Description
After a recent upgrade, the horizontal margins/padding on the main content area in the TUI appear to have increased, making the readable content area noticeably narrower — especially on wide terminals. Tables and long-form output get compressed while there's unused space on either side.
This was previously raised in #838, which was closed without a user-facing config option being added.
Request
Add a tui.json option (e.g. content_max_width or content_padding) that lets users control how wide the main response content area renders. Something like:
Currently tui.json supports scroll_speed, diff_style, mouse, etc. — but nothing for layout/spacing of the content area.
Current behavior
- Content area has fixed left/right margins that cannot be overridden
- The theme system only controls colors, fonts, and syntax highlighting — not layout
- No documented workaround exists for adjusting content width
Expected behavior
- Users can configure the content area width through
tui.json
- Sensible default preserved, but overridable for users with wide terminals
Environment
- OS: macOS
- Terminal: wide-screen setup
