⌘⇧.
Zen mode for deep focus
When I need to write without distractions, I hit ⌘⇧. Everything fades away except my words.
Sometimes I need to disappear into my writing. Zen mode makes that happen.
What changes
- Sidebar and toolbar hidden
- A subtle vignette dims everything except your text
- Scrollbar hidden for a clean canvas
Focus levels
Choose how much to dim. Sentence focus highlights just the current sentence. Paragraph keeps the whole block visible. Typewriter adds vertical centering so your cursor stays mid-screen.
Getting in and out
⌘⇧. toggles it. Or use the command palette: zen mode. Press Escape to exit.
When I use it
Long-form writing. Journaling. Any time I catch myself getting distracted by the interface instead of the words.
