Fullscreen Writing Mode

fullscreen
Allows writing in an uncluttered, fullscreen environment with all the power of YourOtherMind available but kept out of sight.

Fullscreen Writing Mode


What does it do?

Allows the writer to focus on the current text. Several advanced formatting tools are also available only in fullscreen mode such as access to cosmetic color changes (i.e., white text on blue background). It also has re-formatting options to convert a text between various styles (some markets like italics to be represented by underlines for example).
