1. DistractFree Manual *DistractFree-manual*
=================================================================================
Functionality
This plugin has been made to enable a WriteRoom like behaviour in Vim.
When enabled, all unnecessary features are turned off, so you can concentrate
on writing with Vim. It also creates on each side a couple of empty windows,
so that the text will be centered around the screen.
This plugin defines the following commands:
:DistractFreeToggle
This commnd toggles between normal Vim mode and the distraction free mode.
Alternatively, you can use the key <leader>W in normal mode to toggle between normal
mode and Distraction Free mode. (If you haven't setup your leaderkey, see also
|<Leader>| use the '\' key)
==================================================================================
2 DistractFree Configuration *DistractFree-config*
==================================================================================
2.1 Window width/height *DistractFree-size*
-----------------------
By default, DistractFree create a frame around the main window, such that the
main buffer contains 90% of the available Vim window screen size. You can
change this, by specifying either a percentage or width (in columns) by
setting the g:distractfree_width variable, e.g. to have the window be resized
to 95% of the Vim window, put into your |.vimrc| the following: >
:let g:distractfree_width = '95%'
<
2.2 Load a specific colorscheme *DistractFree-Colorscheme*
-------------------------------
By default, DistractFree does not change your colorscheme, although it comes
with an experimental Darkroom like colorscheme, called "darkroom".
DistractFree also does reset some highlighting colors, specifically it resets
|hl-VertSplit| and |hl-NonText|. You might however want to load a specific
colorscheme so that the highlighting distracts you even more. Therefore you
can set the variable g:distractfree_colorscheme to your prefered colorscheme,
which will then be loaded when starting distraction free mode like this >
:let g:distractfree_colorscheme = "solarized"
This would make DistractFree try to load the specified colorscheme solarized
when entering distraction free mode. If you don't want to change your
colorscheme, simply set this variable to empty: >
:let g:distractfree_colorscheme = ""
2.3 Remap keys *DistractFree-maps*
--------------
DistractFree remaps some keys, to make scrolling more easier. By default the
following keys are mapped: >
┌───────┬─────────────────┐
│ Key │ Mapped To│
├───────┼─────────────────┤
│ <Up>│ g<Up>│
│ <Down>│ g<Down>│
│ k│ gk│
│ j│ gj│
│ <Down>│ <C-\><C-O><Up>│
│ <Down>│ <C-\><C-O><Down>│
└───────┴─────────────────┘
If you prefer to have no keys being remaped, that the variable
g:distractfree_nomap_keys like this: >
:let g:distractfree_nomap_keys = 1
<
2.4 Hooks *DistractFree-hooks*
----------
If you want, you can execute certain scripts, whenever Distraction free mode
is started and stopped. For example, on Windows you might want to start
Distraction free mode in transparent mode using VimTweak
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=687). So to setup everything
on start, you set the variable g:distractfree_hook variable like this: >
let g:distractfree_hook = []
let g:distractfree_hook["start"] = ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "SetAlpha", 210) |'.
\ ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "EnableMaximize", 1) |'.
\ ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "EnableCaption", 0) |'.
\ ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "EnableTopMost", 1) '
let g:distractfree_hook["stop"] = ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "SetAlpha", 255) |'.
\ ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "EnableMaximize", 0) |'.
\ ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "EnableCaption", 1) |'.
\ ':call libcallnr("vimtweak.dll", "EnableTopMost", 0) |'
This setups a start hook, that will be executed on Distraction Free Mode start
(using the "start" key) and stop mode (using the "stop" key).
