Summary
The Default Padding setting currently applies padding to both the left and right of each widget — per the docs: "Add consistent padding to the left and right of each widget."
It would be useful to choose which side(s) that padding applies to, rather than always both.
Request
Add an option to control the padding side:
- Both (left + right) — current behavior, default
- Left only
- Right only
The default stays both, so existing configs render identically and nothing breaks for current users.
Why
With some separator / powerline styles, padding on both sides can compound the spacing between adjacent widgets, or push the first/last widget further from the line edge than wanted. Per-side control lets you tune spacing on one side without it doubling up on the other.
Notes
Backwards-compatible: the existing defaultPadding value keeps working as-is; the new side option just narrows where that padding is applied.
