Actual question

Is there a way to set the padding to 0 only when I have neovim open in the active tab?

Background

I often have neovim in one tab and a development server running in another. When Im in the neovim tab I want 0 padding, but when i go the powershell tab with my dev server running I want 8px padding.

I've seen some gh issues mentioning the same, but the best solution I found was to use the "VimEnter" and "VimLeavePre" events to set change padding. The issue is that I often leave neovim running while i open another tab. Since I never left vim my padding is still set to zero.

I've also tried using pane:get_foreground_process_name() to check if neovim is currently open in the active tab, but this usually gives me the path to eg. "node.exe" which would be the same as when running a node command in powershell
