Writing Mode

Visual Studio Code, already has a great distraction free mode called Zen Mode.

But, sometimes, you might prefer differnet font-size or a completely different theme when writing.

Also, you might want to toggle multiple settings all at once, like TypeWriterMode or FocusMode.

This is possible with Writing Mode.

There are two keybindings

• Ctrl+F11 that will switch both Writing Mode and Zen Mode. It is just like pressing Shift+F11 followed by Ctrl+K Z

and

• Shift+F11 that will switch only Writing Mode On or Off

Writing Mode: Font Size

• Key: fictionWriter.writingMode.fontSize
• Default: 20

Font size can be set either by opening Settings view, or by using the Select Writing Mode Font Size Command

Writing Mode: Theme

• Key: fictionWriter.writingMode.theme
• Default: empty

The writing theme can also be set from settings, but is much easier to select it using the Select Writing Mode Theme Command, as it will display a drowpdown with all installed themes to choose from.

Writing Mode: Toggle Focus Mode

• Key: fictionWriter.writingMode.toggleFocusMode
• Default: enabled

You also have the option to switch to Focus Mode when entering writing mode, by setting Toggle Focus Mode
