Distraction-free coding for Neovim >= 0.5
- opens the current buffer in a new full-screen floating window
- doesn't mess with existing window layouts / splits
- works correctly with other floating windows, like LSP hover, WhichKey, ...
- you can dynamically change the window size
- realigns when the editor or Zen window is resized
- optionally shade the backdrop of the Zen window
- always hides the status line
- optionally hide the number column, sign column, fold column, ...
- highly customizable with lua callbacks
on_open,on_close - plugins:
- Zen Mode is automatically closed when a new non-floating window is opened
- works well with plugins like Telescope to open a new buffer inside the Zen window
- close the Zen window with
:ZenMode,:closeor:quit
- Neovim >= 0.5.0
- ❗ Zen Mode uses the new
z-indexoption for floating windows - ❗ only builds newer than May 15, 2021 are supported
- ❗ Zen Mode uses the new
- Twilight is optional to dim inactive portions of your code
Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:
-- Lua
{
"folke/zen-mode.nvim",
opts = {
-- your configuration comes here
-- or leave it empty to use the default settings
-- refer to the configuration section below
}
}Zen Mode comes with the following defaults:
{
window = {
backdrop = 0.95, -- shade the backdrop of the Zen window. Set to 1 to keep the same as Normal
-- height and width can be:
-- * an absolute number of cells when > 1
-- * a percentage of the width / height of the editor when <= 1
-- * a function that returns the width or the height
width = 120, -- width of the Zen window
height = 1, -- height of the Zen window
-- by default, no options are changed for the Zen window
-- uncomment any of the options below, or add other vim.wo options you want to apply
options = {
-- signcolumn = "no", -- disable signcolumn
-- number = false, -- disable number column
-- relativenumber = false, -- disable relative numbers
-- cursorline = false, -- disable cursorline
-- cursorcolumn = false, -- disable cursor column
-- foldcolumn = "0", -- disable fold column
-- list = false, -- disable whitespace characters
},
},
plugins = {
-- disable some global vim options (vim.o...)
-- comment the lines to not apply the options
options = {
enabled = true,
ruler = false, -- disables the ruler text in the cmd line area
showcmd = false, -- disables the command in the last line of the screen
-- you may turn on/off statusline in zen mode by setting 'laststatus'
-- statusline will be shown only if 'laststatus' == 3
laststatus = 0, -- turn off the statusline in zen mode
},
twilight = { enabled = true }, -- enable to start Twilight when zen mode opens
gitsigns = { enabled = false }, -- disables git signs
tmux = { enabled = false }, -- disables the tmux statusline
todo = { enabled = false }, -- if set to "true", todo-comments.nvim highlights will be disabled
-- this will change the font size on kitty when in zen mode
-- to make this work, you need to set the following kitty options:
-- - allow_remote_control socket-only
-- - listen_on unix:/tmp/kitty
kitty = {
enabled = false,
font = "+4", -- font size increment
},
-- this will change the font size on alacritty when in zen mode
-- requires Alacritty Version 0.10.0 or higher
-- uses `alacritty msg` subcommand to change font size
alacritty = {
enabled = false,
font = "14", -- font size
},
-- this will change the font size on wezterm when in zen mode
-- See alse also the Plugins/Wezterm section in this projects README
wezterm = {
enabled = false,
-- can be either an absolute font size or the number of incremental steps
font = "+4", -- (10% increase per step)
},
-- this will change the scale factor in Neovide when in zen mode
-- See alse also the Plugins/Wezterm section in this projects README
neovide = {
enabled = false,
-- Will multiply the current scale factor by this number
scale = 1.2
-- disable the Neovide animations while in Zen mode
disable_animations = {
neovide_animation_length = 0,
neovide_cursor_animate_command_line = false,
neovide_scroll_animation_length = 0,
neovide_position_animation_length = 0,
neovide_cursor_animation_length = 0,
neovide_cursor_vfx_mode = "",
}
},
},
-- callback where you can add custom code when the Zen window opens
on_open = function(win)
end,
-- callback where you can add custom code when the Zen window closes
on_close = function()
end,
}Toggle Zen Mode with :ZenMode.
Alternatively you can start Zen Mode with the Lua API and pass any additional options:
require("zen-mode").toggle({
window = {
width = .85 -- width will be 85% of the editor width
}
})In order to make the integration with wezterm work as intended, you need to add the following function to your wezterm config:
wezterm.on('user-var-changed', function(window, pane, name, value)
local overrides = window:get_config_overrides() or {}
if name == "ZEN_MODE" then
local incremental = value:find("+")
local number_value = tonumber(value)
if incremental ~= nil then
while (number_value > 0) do
window:perform_action(wezterm.action.IncreaseFontSize, pane)
number_value = number_value - 1
end
overrides.enable_tab_bar = false
elseif number_value < 0 then
window:perform_action(wezterm.action.ResetFontSize, pane)
overrides.font_size = nil
overrides.enable_tab_bar = true
else
overrides.font_size = number_value
overrides.enable_tab_bar = false
end
end
window:set_config_overrides(overrides)
end)If you need this functionality within tmux, you need to add the following option to your tmux config:
set-option -g allow-passthrough onSee also: wez/wezterm#2550
Neovide config will only be executed if vim variable g:neovide is set to 1, which Neovide does automatically on startup. By modifying table plugins.neovide.disable_animations, you can control which variables in g: namespace get temporarily overriden while in Zen mode. By default, all animations are disabled. See Neovide documentation for possible values.
