QplainTextEdit bottom margin (empty space below text)

[sugz]

Hi everyone
I'm trying to add an empty space below the text in a QPlainTextEdit, allow the user to scroll past the text.
You can find this in visual studio, visual studio code or sublime for example

I've managed to to it on a QTextEdit like this:

QTextFrameFormat format = document()->rootFrame()->frameFormat();
format.setBottomMargin(contentsRect().height());
document()->rootFrame()->setFrameFormat(format);

but it doesn't work with a QPlainTextEdit

Here is what i'm trying to achieve implemented in a QTextEdit:

Any ideas are welcome.

You need to use this method:

class CodeEditor(QPlainTextEdit):
    ...
    
    self.setCenterOnScroll(True)
