vim/nvim not filling windows terminal

Question

I'm runing nvim through wsl2 on ubuntu. However if I use the windows terminal nvim or vim will not fill the whole terminal

How can I get rid of those black borders?

It works just fine if I use the Ubuntu terminal. But I'd prefer to use the Windows Terminal

From the images I honestly cannot see the problem you mention. — apena, Jun 25 '20 at 16:28

What does your profile for this shell look like in `settings.json`? — apena, Jun 25 '20 at 17:14

In your profile in settings.json add this: "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0"

For the lazy, `"padding": "0"` also works. – superhawk610 Jun 11 '22 at 01:41

With "padding": "0" I still got the black bar on the right, to get rid of it set "scrollbarState": "hidden"

Actually，I set "padding": "0" and scrollbarState": "hidden".

It shows here.

There is still a distance at the bottom of Windows terminal where the content is never displayed.

This does not appear to be an issue with NVim. The Windows Terminal simply has padding on all the sides of the terminal window, to get rid of it adjust the padding in the terminal settings.json file. Here is a breakdown of all the text configuration settings.

It occured to me recently, but I found a way to deal with it.
Open the settings.json and then add "padding": "0, 0, 0, -3",.

At least it works for me.

On Windows Terminal Preview

Go to Settings > Profiles > YOUR_TERMINAL > APPEARANCE
Set Padding to 0
Set Scrollbar Visibility hidden
Hit save.

Like so:
