Description
JDarkRoom is a popular full-screen text editor with none of the usual bells and whistles that might distract you from the job in hand.
If you want to focus on writing without distractions, or just feel a pang of nostalgia for the retro color scheme, JDarkRoom might be the editor for you.
Review
JDarkRoom is a free, full-screen text editor that's designed to help you focus on your writing by eliminating distractions. When you open JDarkRoom, your screen goes completely black except for a blinking green cursor. By design, JDarkRoom gives you a limited feature set, with support for only basic word-processing functions such as cut, copy, paste, undo, and line and word count. JDarkRoom opens quickly (although not quite as quickly as Text Edit) and offers many options for fonts, auto-saving, and screen and type color. Its interface can take some getting used to (for example, it uses some nonstandard keystrokes, such as control instead of command keys for saving and opening files), but overall JDarkRoom is an excellent choice (and value) for a text editor that can keep you focused.
