If you are using iA Writer, it also has this feature: https://ia.net/writer/support/editor/focus-mode https://ia.net/writer/support/editor/focus-mode

  Close: Writer still lets you edit text in that mode. Ensō looks like typewriter mode, and is also append-only. Writer doesn't have that bit.

    True, good point. I feel like the main point is that you are not able to "edit" your text in the sense that you re-structure paragraphs, moving bits around, not about not being able to correct a typo.

      I think you're right. For me, the fading is enough to greatly reduce that temptation. I could just turn off focus mode, but there's a big "out of sight, out of mind" component, too. It would be kinda cool to have a way to disable backward cursor movement, or a "enable focus mode until I restart the app" option as another barrier to "I just want to make this one quick change...". Huh. Wonder if I could emulate the cursor stuff with Keyboard Maestro by making it swallow those keypresses?

    Yup, that's one of the reasons I built Ensō instead of using iA Writer.
