I didn't know I wanted something like this so much.

love this. I've been crafting my blog articles in vim lately as well and this will definitely make that a more pleasant experience.

How does this stand up when there are split windows? Is this mostly for single window/terminal use?

Found the same thing on emacs: https://bitbucket.org/phromo/darkroom-mode/

If you just want full-screen, it's ":set fullscreen" on MacVim, or ":set fu" for short.

vertical split with three windows, adjust their size to control the margins, and set the border to the same color as the background. Put these commands on your .vimrc. Should work too.

It appears to be implemented using split windows, so the results if you try and use split windows normally are somewhat surprising.

(It also doesn't work well with my settings as it shows a statusbar on some of these split windows acting as padding, so the effect is ruined slightly.)

The article mentions the same is possible in MacVim, but not how to do it. Any pointers?
