Full-screen writing program

In computing, a full-screen writing program[1] or distraction-free editor[2][3][4] is a text editor that occupies the full display with the purpose of isolating the writer from the operating system (OS) and other applications.

In this way, one should be able to focus on the writing alone, with no distractions from the OS and a cluttered interface.

CodeRoom is an open source project with the purpose of creating a distraction-free code editor with customisable highlighting schemes.

[37][38] Packages exist for GNU Emacs that turn off various features and reformat the display to a distraction-free layout while retaining syntax highlighting and other features familiar to Emacs users.

Other aids can include spell checkers, auto-corrections and quick text templates.
