Does `set-frame-position' only work in X? Because it doesn't seem
to do anything for me.
I have the following to get a right margin of one char, in a Linux
VT:
;; left margin = 1 char; no right margin
(add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook
(lambda ()
(set-window-margins
(car (get-buffer-window-list (current-buffer)
nil ; do consider minibuffer
t )) ; consider all frames
1 0 )))
However, it is not optimal as
1) I'd like it for the minibuffer/echo area, to
2) I'd like it for the status bar, to, although I managed to setup
this somewhere else
3) Sometimes, for popup frames (for example, help) it doesn't
"kick in" until I hit `M-x', which is annoying. (I don't think
this is because of Help's View mode, because sometimes in some
other popup context - without View - I get the same behaviour -
although that's a possibility, for sure - either the hook doesn't
get fired, or it resets right after that).
But in most cases, it works OK.
As I always run Emacs in a tmux window, perhaps it is much easier
to fill the right margin with an extra char (a whitespace), in my
tmux setup? I don't know if you use tmux as well, otherwise that
could be worth exterminating.
