GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 396284
fullscreen/'no distraction' mode
Last modified: 2009-01-05 13:29:35 UTC
I'd love to have a fullscreen or 'no distraction' mode, a la: http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/product/writeroom or http://www.blue-tec.com/ulysses/ I haven't been able to use them personally, but I've seen several reports that people find them useful in reducing clutter and distraction while they are writing large documents. In particular, writeroom (first link) seems to be gaining a cult following on the mac.
Not exactly the same thing, but as a first you could try the full screen plugin listed on http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins

I am marking this one as dupe of 520749 even if that one is much newer, since that one has a promising start of a patch *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 520749 ***
