No, only kate and kwrite have this size fixed default margins. If its hardcoded its in kate/kwrite. Hardcoded default margins in a programmers tool ,I can't believe that. Maybe I misunderstood the problem. I'm thinking rather of my experience with tools like LibreOffice: I can change the margins but not beyond what the printer itself defines.
As you talk of 0.14 inches, that looks to me as a printer default. For a programmer editor, the margin would be in chars, not inches.
Could you say where exactly you see the margin size, in kate, for instance? And what type of file are you editing (it sets the mode).
Because I just edited a plain text file and I see no margin. However, when going to print there is indeed a margin which is set in print preview, page setup, and in my case it is 4.35 mm or 0.17" (and can not be decreased). This is indeed a printer margin, what kate thinks is the minimal margin of my printer.
Looking at LO writer, it thinks the printer margin is 0.42 cm, which is very similar to what Kate thinks, although it allows me to override (and then the printer itself cuts when actually printing).
Wrong discussion, a simple ascii file has no formatting, I can set any margin from 0 to whole page and the printer prints exactly as ordered.
I only want to change the useless default !!! which margin are you talking about? The one in the print dialog, "Layout" -> "Border", the one in the printer

Cheers, Fabian
Print dialog-properties-page-margins, is default 3.53 mm .
That's not hardcoded, that's from the printer's PPD, as Carlos wrote. You can observe that by switching to a different printer, it has different margins set. Cheers, Fabian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
