Zen and fullscreen
Development reference · View source
:zen (Space w z) | :fullscreen (Space w f) | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximizes the active pane | Yes | Yes |
| Text width | Centred, up to editor.zen_width (100) cells; a narrower terminal uses all cells | Unchanged: laid out exactly as in a split |
| With only one pane | Works, because it changes the text width | Leaves the view unchanged and reports only one pane |
| Pane title tag | [zen] | [fullscreen] |
- The buffer, selections, undo history, and split tree are unchanged. Toggling again restores the exact previous layout.
- Soft wrap keeps the same settings, including the rendered Markdown override.
- With several panes, the two views share one state: asking for the other switches to it, and only the view actually showing toggles off.
- While a pane is maximized, splitting, closing, directional focus, and pane cycling wait until it is toggled off. The maximized pane is the only one keys can reach, so what is on screen and what receives typing cannot diverge.
- The title tag follows the
[+]and[RO]markers. An ordinary pane has neither tag. - Both cover the directory tree temporarily, and zen hides the session strip.
