Focus Options

  1. Distraction-Free: When you begin typing, this mode hides all toolbars and menus, allowing you to focus solely on your text. The sidebar will also collapse into the window.
  2. Sidebar Visible: The sidebar remains visible, but toolbars and menus fade away when you start typing. This mode is useful if you want quick access to your files while still minimizing distractions.
  3. Off: No focus mode is active. Toolbars and menus are fully visible.

You can toggle focus modes from the Settings (⌘ + ,) menu.
