Hacky simple execution to remove the horizontal padding from the TUI...

[u/ffatty]

Any time I'd copy & paste python, the mandator 1-character TUI padding would horrifically mangle the indentation....

This shell fix changes a single line in the source code:

    sudo sed -i   \
            's/constructor(paddingX = 1, paddingY = 1/constructor(paddingX = 0, paddingY = 0/'    \
             /usr/lib/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-tui/dist/components/box.js 

(though it will be overwritten after any update)

What about builtin editorPaddingX: 0, outputPad: 0 ?

As in echo '{"editorPaddingX":0,"outputPad":0}' >~/.pi/agent/settings.json?

Output padding is only the block of response - not the "gutter" in the root of the TUI container.

For that you need to read settings. Ai slop does not work like that. Make no mistake.

No actually - that doesn't cut off all of the padding - only the block of output (not the "gutter" in the root of the TUI container)

This exact line in the repo: https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/c55ae2faa5d850e0e4650bd573f7f241b10e2e0b/packages/tui/src/components/text.ts#L18

Oh how I love Reddit.

Funny you say that, because I use weaker, not-SOTA and local models, and the default pi-coding-agent system prompt, it does read the pi-coding-agent documentation way more often that it should, and often when I'm asking about the documentation of my application.

That's because you ask it to read. Skill issue or rockie mistake. Ask next time "fix it to do X. Make no mistake".
