Nice. There are also WriteRoom (mac) and DarkRoom (win), and on Linux PyRoom, whose website is defunct but which does have a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyRoom.

I would just use nano or vim, but their disadvantage is that word wrap, and moving around between wrapped lines, don't work (by default) like you'd want from a plaintext editor.



Vim Pencil is a simple plugin that makes Vim a decent environment for writing. Plus Goyo for full minimalism.


>WriteRoom (mac)

There's also an analogous mode[0] for emacs that works great on my ARM Mac!

Too bad the PyRoom site is down. I want to say I had shared some themes with that project a while back, but can't remember if they were full themes or just screenshots.


:set wrap would make it work in vim or neovim ?


You also probably want

    :noremap j gj
    :noremap k gk
So j/k operate on "one display line" instead of ignoring wrapping.


There is zen-mode in emacs as well.


Not to mention olivetti mode[0] in Emacs.

What “zen-mode” would that be? https://github.com/zenlang/zen-mode seems to be for the programming language called “Zen”.
