Using right margin for display doesn't work with more than 1 window in terminal about diff-hl

Try putting this into your init file:

(setq-default right-margin-width 2)

Hi, that doesn't work, but from your help, I did:

(add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook
          (lambda ()
            (set-window-margins (car (get-buffer-window-list (current-buffer) nil t)) nil 2)))

And this works.
Don't know anything about elisp so I don't know why that works, but it's fine for me.

Hi, that doesn't work

Did you try restarting Emacs?

[jbmorgado]

Yes I did. But like I told you, the other option works fine, so I'll stick to that as a workaround. Thank you.

Too bad, it works for me.

I'm happy you've found a workaround, of course. By the way, you can use get-buffer-window instead of (car (get-buffer-window-list ...).
