Is there a built-in way to add more padding to an existing PaddlingValues?

I want to add more padding from the one coming via the Material Scaffold . My whole screen is a LazyVerticalGrid so I can't just add a Modifier

PS: I know i can do PaddingValues(top = contentPadding.calculateTopPadding(), ...) but I am looking for a less verbose way

Probably just want this https://github.com/HedvigInsurance/android/blob/develop/app%2Fcore%2Fcore-ui%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fkotlin%2Fcom%2Fhedvig%2Fandroid%2Fcore%2Fui%2FPaddingValuesExt.kt#L7-L17

I got this from some previous discussions here:

I am aware of how to combine them on my own. I am looking for anything similar that comes with the framework

Sorry, I am afraid I don't understand what you're looking for then 😔

There's three separate issues for making it easier to add PaddingValues together (the first of which is from 2022), but like Stylianos said, you need to do this yourself right now: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=Paddingvalues%20plus%20status:open

@Stylianos Gakis i am building self contained component functions and I do not want to rely on anything else but what Compose UI (and the standard libraries) gives you. that's why I don't want to create my own (extension) functions for this. I could have been more clear in my original message, but my brain was fried after hours of coding 😅
