Given the quite long MWE:

%usepackage[showframe]{geometry}

usepackage{mathtools}

usepackage{needspace}

usepackage{multido}

usepackage{multicol}

usepackage[thmmarks, amsmath]{ntheorem}

usepackage{thmtools}

usepackage{listings}



nonzeroparskip             % Create space between paragraphs

setlength{parindent}{0pt} % Remove paragraph indentation

setlengthcolumnsep{0pt}   % for multicol: still too much space in between

I get:

Where I have two problems:

1. The hang/hung bars do not have the same distance to text (In particular the space from end of theorem+listings to the hung below is too large. But there are also other problems: for example "Theorem Env:" to hung above)


2. The multicol environment is not left aligned (may be caused by itemize which is needed to have the listings side-by-side)

I tried a lot with vspace hackery, but for at least at one of the places a problem persisted ;(

And is it possible to have the multicols/itemize in a self-defined environment to have everything more compact?

best regards,
Markus

A partial solution is to have vspace within

theorempostwork{vspace{-1em}theoremspucetheoremhung}

Initially I tried to add the vspace to theoremspuce, where it did not work.
