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).
