Could you please upload it to vim.org for posterity? http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php This'll get mirrored to the vimscripts github account and then let us install it via the Vundle vim package manager. Thanks for the cool plugin!

What kind of visual distractions does Vimroom hide with the background color setting?

I must admit, having text centered like that is intriguing. I'm going to give this a try.

I'll take a look at getting it up to vim.org. Thanks for your interest!

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

awesome. :set nofu to get back My pet peeve with vim is the :set paste, :set nopaste things why not have :set paste false....

I also don't like this, although it's no big deal, and it happens with a few other settings (e.g., 'number'). One way around it is to forget about using the 'set' command entirely and to assign all settings using the setting variable directly. Every setting has a corresponding variable that can be accessed by prefixing with &, so to set paste off you can just do ':let &paste=0'.

What I do is split the window vertically (C-w v), and resize the left window so that the text in the right window is centered on the screen.

Doesn't really work for me, but there is already an issue on GitHub for this. However, I don't really see the added value if you are using MacVim in the first place.

The big advantage over MacVim is that Vimroom works from the terminal, anywhere. I can use the plugin no matter which machine I'm logged into, which is pretty valuable to me.

I fixed the only issue that was on the project before today (errors when mapping keys that were already mapped), and pushed a v0.7. I hope that fixes the issue you experienced.

Funny, I wrote a plugin earlier this year and came up with the exact same name. I never had time to polish and release it, but if you're interested, here's the source on GitHub:

https://github.com/mbadran/vimroom

The feature sets are different, from what I can tell.
