Any questions not answered there can likely be solved with a visit to the program’s While there are no built-in help files, there are links to useful online help pages.
The program never crashed during my tests, and I never encountered any bugs within the program itself. If there’s an aspect of WriteRoom that can’t be customized via the program’s Preferences window, you’ll be hard pressed to find it.Appropriately enough for such an elegantly simple program, WriteRoom is fast and responsive.
WRITEROOM SAVE AS WINDOWS
If you can’t bear to be completely separated from your beloved desktop, WriteRoom even lets you adjust the opacity of the background to let your windows peek through.
WRITEROOM SAVE AS MAC
(When you move your otherwise hidden mouse pointer to the top of the screen, a standard Mac menu bar appears, from which you can access preferences and adjust other settings.) WriteRoom lets you change the font, magnify the text, expand or contract its width, and much more. Nearly every aspect of the program, from the cursor and the text to the background color and the type of scrolling, is fully customizable via WriteRoom’s thorough but user-friendly Preferences window. Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen, and document information (word or character count, title, and so on) briefly pops up. You can use your mouse wheel, the arrow keys, or a slider bar at the right of the screen to go back and forth through your text as needed. (Anyone old enough to remember word processing on an Apple IIc or IIe may feel a fond glow of nostalgia.) As your text piles up, WriteRoom uses typewriter-style scrolling to push the text upward, leaving the line you’re writing nicely centered at the middle of the screen your eyes never have to stray too far from one spot. You might still find the "derived mode" improvement useful, but I suspect trying to make this particular mode 100% global is not going to work very well at all.Start typing, and you’ll see the screen begin to fill with bright green text.
WRITEROOM SAVE AS HOW TO
Whether you need to explicitly load/require the library depends on how you've installed it but as you're using the library already, that's presumably been taken care of, meaning it's then just a case of: (global-writeroom-mode 1)Īlternatively (to all of the above), you could ignore the global mode provided, and create your own alternative global minor mode, as described in How to enable a non-global minor mode by default, on emacs startup?Įdit: Well I've had a bit of a play with writeroom-mode, and it would seem there are very good reasons why its global mode was a bit conservative. (apply 'derived-mode-p writeroom-major-modes))
If `writeroom-major-modes' is nil, activate `writeroom-mode' This function activates `writeroom-mode' in a buffer if thatīuffer's major mode is a member of `writeroom-major-modes', Not strictly relevant to your question, but perhaps useful if you find the "all modes" approach overkill. That way the default value of '(text-mode) would match not only text-mode, but every mode derived from text-mode.
I also changed the existing test to check for a derived mode match, rather than simply an exact match.
The following will redefine the function which makes that decision, so that if the writeroom-major-modes is nil (empty list), it will turn on for any major mode. So now that you've provided a link (albeit in your other question), I can see that the library provides a global minor mode which only turns itself on for a specific configurable set of major modes.
