WriteRoom: Free full-screen writing app for OS X
Merlin Mann | Jun 30 2006
O, how we distraction-prone people pine for persistent and ubiquitous full-screen mode. And it looks like the good folks at Hog Bay have come up with an elegant freeware app to help save the beleaguered writer from him or herself.
It's a primitive application, to be sure -- I suspect completely by design -- but it may be just what the doctor ordered if you need to get your head out of your butt and put some words on the page. I can see myself spending a lot of time in WriteRoom. [ via RickP_in_AZ on the board ] 40 Comments

I like to use VI and shell into my text files from wherever over SSH. Run it full screen as the only application running -> no interuptions. I get into VI sessions so deeply that I get frustrated when switching back to GUI text editors... I automatically attempt to use the VI commands to move around the file! In fact I wish there was a GUI text editor that had an option to use VI commands... very decadent I know. http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/vi.html http://www.bo.infn.it/alice/alice-doc/mll-doc/linux/vi-ex/node23.html - muliple buffers / scrapbooks Much too nerdy... » POSTED IN:
