ZenWriter 1.32

ZenWriter a text editor for Windows that cuts out all the distraction and lets you focus on letting your thoughts flow. It’s a full screen, zen-like program that offers few formatting options but a whole lot of tranquility.

If you find yourself, skipping between tabs in your browser checking up on email and Facebook when you’re meant to be writing, ZenWriter is the solution to your distracted mind.

shrink file size drastically, too inflated for a simple text editor...see Atlantis software

see ZenWriter have a 'Save' option. It also leaves ghosts of screens after I have closed the screens. I like the type writer sound. More options on the music would be nice. Thanks.

Allow users to change the language of the keyboard

Allow users to change the language of the keyboard so it's not restricted to the default (e.g. so users can switch to Chinese (Taiwan) to type traditional Chinese characters)

Add an optional clock, or timer. My previous 'No distraction' writing has been done using 'Write Or Die', perhaps not as peaceful as this, but quite helpful in a pinch.

Make the menu off/on more predictable

Make the menu off/on more predictable ; link it to a cursor position in a corner. Also give multi-screen support. Provide a timer, showing you how long you've worked, when saving the text.

See a much improved Spell Check.

This feature has been around for decades and I don't know that I have ever used one as poor as this.

Make it so that after typing for several seconds all options and menus disapear UNTIL the mouse is moved.

I love this software for writing. Once I purchase a new computer I intend to buying this software (thank you for the reasonable price)...if you fix a few things first. It is very irritating when I begin to type, have all the options nicely fade...

Add support for and syntax assistance for scripting

Add support for and syntax assistance for scripting, for example VBS, Powershell...Coders would appreciate a tranquil coding environment too!

Change the 'Save' function so that when you click CTRL+S it will update your save file rather than forcing you to continually use the browsing window to locate, overwrite, or make copies of your file (like Microsoft Word, Notepad, and almost every ot

As stated above. I use CTRL+S all the time, and having the browsing window pop up every time I try to save is getting quite irritating. Please fix this so that when you click CTRL+S the save file is merely updated. Other than that I love this...

As a writer, I'd prefer a dedicated SAVE button. Great program. File size not an issue with me!

be able to mute the sound when it is minimized and also add an autosave option. Being able to add our own music and backgrounds would be even better. Also, I noticed that the left side is too empty and leaves too much space which can be used to provi

Fix it so the line doesn't blink every time I type a letter. (This is happening on the 'night' setting - haven't checked on 'day' - but the blink is a distraction.)

Change the name. Most individuals are not 'Buddhists'. Or we could call it 'Salvationwriter'.

remark

I really like the backgrounds - yes - user input for music would be nice - a more pronounced menu with more familiar words - and I get the no fonts thing - if each writer wants to doctor the after-affects then save it & import into a larger word...

As a writer creative type for decades, I love it when Giveaway offers something cool and creative like this. I could have used this decades ago! Thanks so much to both this site and the makers of the program. I'll be sure to give you both more public

do nothing to change it. Less is more.

It's perfect as-is. Even though I've received this free of charge, I am still going to send in the purchase price because I want to support your efforts at keeping this up-to-date. Namaste'...
