Is it possible to chain only the right-left padding controls (not all paddings including the top and bottom)? Some modifier key or any other way? Thanks! ![CleanShot 2020-12-28 at 20.21.55](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/0/002712b9df7f4973730dee07e59b4da0007cfd9f.gif) ---

Someone can correct me if i’m wrong, but I don’t think that there is. ---

> [@beno](#): > > chain only the right-left padding Not sure what you mean by “chain only” but there are serveral ways to change the padding. CSS .class {padding:0 10px;} this will give you no padding at the top & bottom Bootstrap: uses class mx-1 to achieve much the same thing ---

Thanks, Yes i know. but i mean using the ui. When i drag the margin / padding i have an option to “Chain” them (meke all of them respond to my dragging at once), but usually you set seperate value for left-right padding, and for the bottom-top padding (/margin). ![CleanShot 2020-12-28 at 20.21.55](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/0/002712b9df7f4973730dee07e59b4da0007cfd9f.gif) ---

Yes, this is one of those small little detail that would improve UI. ---

want this. my workaround is to manually add the extra 0 to the rule up in the CSS rule display area, and then put my cursor on the 0 i just added for using drag or the up/dn keys to change the value separately from the other one. ---

I’m not sure i understand, but it doesn’t seem like your workaround will do it. the goal here is to change the right-left (or bottom-top) paddings together… ---

this is where webflow starts to win over pinegrow (not overall of course!) small touches like this save a few seconds and that adds up. ---

if you put your cursor on the number up in the style panel you can do the same thing with the up/dn arrows `padding: 25px 15px` put the cursor on the 25 to change top/bottom padding at the same time put the cursor on the 15 to change right/left padding at the same time ---

Good one @droidgoo! Didn’t think about this approach. ---

Thanks, but i think it should be simpler then that and mouse enabled. other wise i can just write code with text editor 🙂 ---

fair point… and i often do. no ONE tool is going to do everything you want to do. that’s literally why tool boxes exist. ---

I also would like this feature, but with the ability to equally set just left and right margins, top and bottom padding or top and bottom margins.
