Note: If you are interested in a fully distraction-free writing environment, that not only centres the text but also removes the window decorations, the mode line etc., take a look at writeroom-mode. Therefore, if you wish to make this the default, either use the Customize interface or use setq-default in your init file, rather than setq: (setq-default visual-fill-column-center-text t) Note that visual-fill-column-center-text automatically becomes buffer-local when it is set. Note that visual-fill-column-mode is not dependent on visual-line-mode, so it can be used to centre text in buffers that use auto-fill-mode or in programming modes. This effect is achieved by setting the user option visual-fill-column-center-text. The effect of this package is shown in the following two images: Without adaptive-wrapĪnother use case for visual-fill-column is to centre the text in a window: Like visual-fill-column-mode, its effect is purely visual, the buffer text is not actually modified. To get the same effect, you can use the package adaptive-wrap, which is available from GNU Elpa. In auto-fill-mode, there is an option adaptive-fill-mode, which ensures that if the first line of a paragraph is indented or has, e.g., a mail quote prefix ( > ), this is applied to the entire paragraph. (You can, of course still activate visual-fill-column-mode manually or in hooks for such buffers, though.) Wrap prefix In buffers that do not visit a file, visual-fill-column-mode may be disruptive, so global-visual-fill-column-mode is restricted to file-visiting buffers. Activate it either through Customize or by calling it as a function in your init file. This mode turns on visual-fill-column-mode in every buffer that visits a file. There is also a globalised mode global-visual-fill-column-mode. The most straightforward way to achieve this is to add it to visual-line-mode-hook: (add-hook 'visual-line-mode-hook #'visual-fill-column-mode) The primary purpose of visual-fill-column-mode is to wrap text at fill-column in buffers that use visual-line-mode. Visual-fill-column can be installed from Melpa. That is, it turns the view on the left into the view on the right, without changing the contents of the file: Without visual-fill-column Instead of wrapping lines at the window edge, which is the standard behaviour of visual-line-mode, it wraps lines at fill-column (or visual-fill-column-width, if set). I just don't like my time being wasted.Visual-fill-column-mode is a small Emacs minor mode that mimics the effect of fill-column in visual-line-mode. Sorry for the snarky commentary, I'm just frustrated - which I know is a poor excuse. Since it was an inexpensive upgrade, the value wasn't bad, and so far it hasn't crashed on me. Theming isn't as cut-and-dry - I didn't see a Theme editor, so I opened a theme in the text editor (thinking it might be XML-based) and was greeted with gibberish. After one spends an hour of customizing, and wasting valuable writing time, it almost works like its predecessor.
However, I can't adjust the bottom margin in 3), and a entire black background gives me a headache after awhile.
Writeroom windows full#
I liked WriteRoom 2 because of the flexibility it afforded me in customizing my writing environment - it's about allowing me to focus on writing and not minutiae, right? WriteRoom 3 takes a departure, which has caused me to spend around 20 minutes just trying to get the window how I want it - full screen every time I open WriteRoom, the page is centered (I don't like text scrolling off the edge of my monitor, it's distracting.
