Distraction Free Writing with Vim
- keithpeter 14y agoNice idea. I'm tending to use Vim with a vertically split screen, notes on the right and the draft to be edited on the left. To bash in the first draft, I tend to use PyRoom (Ubuntu Linux).
- styluss 14y agoThe title should be "Distraction Free Writing with MacVim"
- C0d3r 14y agoExactly, I'm trying to convert it to linux, I'll update once I finish struggling to get the columns right ( getting that colunm feel ).
- carlesfe 14y agoPlease do. I'm fighting with the columns too, can't get it right
- C0d3r 14y agoProblem is, I think that in vim, the set columns only dictates the limit to the right, and we want the left side too, or else we get a left-sided column vim. I think the solution would be to open two vertical panels, at the sides, to shorten the middle. Not the best solution though :S.
- laktek 14y agoIf you want to expand the left margin, try setting the `numberwidth` property. You may also need to change the color of number column (` LineNr`) to match the background.
- C0d3r 14y agoThank you, this was the best I could do atm. https://gist.github.com/3634373 https://gist.github.com/3634373 UPDATE: Off's link looks a lot better than my gist, I'm gonna give it a try.

- mhd 14y agoFor the fullscreen part, the rest is pretty universal (theme, settings). Granted, gvim in Windows makes it a bit hard to get proper fullscreen, but there are workarounds[1]. If you're running it in a shell, most of them should have fullscreen options if the window manager/OS doesn't offer that anyway. And well, setting lines/columns might resize the window again... But alas, the very meekest cannot be at peace, if his ill neighbour will not let him rest. 1: http://peterodding.com/code/vim/shell http://peterodding.com/code/vim/shell
- Off 14y agoAnother interesting solution: http://paulrouget.com/e/vimdarkroom/ http://paulrouget.com/e/vimdarkroom/
- Keyframe 14y agoI am a darkroom fanatic, ever since VT320, can't work otherwise. Emacs darkroom mode on Windows was a PITA to setup correctly. Since I switched to Sublime I'm almost fully satisfied. I'm glad to see vim gets darkroom love too, but this apparently works on OSX only.
