Glad it works for you, Dien, but it's not for me. Thanks anyway.

Hi Sandi,

I'm not sure why ESC didn't work to get you out of it... It should work. (It works for me.) Sometimes maybe you have to "click" on the screen before you hit the "ESC" key to make it work.

By the way, you can change the colors (you're not stuck with what it gives you!). I made mine a light blue text on dark blue background combination. (It reminds me of my old Commodore-64 - for all the old computer lovers. ) You can make it black text on a while background if that's what you like.

To change the colors, use the ESC key, then choose Edit >> Preferences. (Or alternatively, use Ctrl + , ).

It IS very simple - just a simple full-screen text editor. The nice thing is, it cuts out all the background - letting you focus just on writing.

Not everyone loves it - but some LOVE it, and I must say, it does help me with my own writing.

Best wishes,

Dien
