Q10: another distraction-free editor
As I wrote in a previous entry, I often use JDarkRoom to write articles and the like. The full-screen editing feature lets me write without distractions. I’ve also started playing with a similar editor called PyRoom, which although is bare bones at the moment shows quite a bit of promise.
Gordon McLean has written about another full-screen editor called Q10. While I use JDarkroom on my laptop, I keep a copy of Q10 on a USB flash drive and use it with the PortableApps suite. For a number of tasks, it beats firing up the portable version of OpenOffice.org Writer or AbiWord. Like JDarkroom, Q10 enables me to write without worrying about anything else.
