  • Or select Preferences > Browse Packages from the main menu, then create a subfolder named DistractionFreeWindow and unzip the contents of a current snapshot of master as *.zip into it.

Usage

Changing Layout

Users of the MaxPane plug-in will appreciate that DistractionFreeWindow directly integrates with it and simplifies the layout when you go into DistractionFreeWindow mode and restores the layout after comming back out of it.

Customization

Settings

DistractionFreeWindow inherits distraction free mode settings from the core application. You can set these via Preferences > Settings - Distraction Free, compare the official docs:

https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/distraction_free.html

The following toggle actions can be customized:

// Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings

{
    "distraction_free_window.toggle_menu": true,
    "distraction_free_window.toggle_minimap": true,
    "distraction_free_window.toggle_status_bar": true,
    "distraction_free_window.toggle_tabs": true
}
