💖 FOCUSWRITER(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual — this is the page for focuswriter, and no cap, it's lowkey a whole vibe. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

focuswriter — a fullscreen word processor, and it's giving main character energy 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

focuswriter [options] [files]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

FocusWriter is a simple, distraction-free word processor. periodt.

It utilizes a hide-away interface that you access by moving your mouse to the edges of the screen. so the program can still have a familiar look and feel to it, but the way it also gets out of the way so you can immerse yourself in your work?? iconic. genuinely obsessed. that's the whole point — it shows up when you need it and vanishes when you don't 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — Displays help on commandline options. your little "wait what do I type" rescue, fr fr 🙈
  • --help-all — Displays help including Qt specific options. the deluxe version of help, it's bringing the Qt extras too ✨
  • -v, --version — Displays version information. so you know exactly which queen you're running 👑
  • files — Files to open in current session. drop them right in and they open right up 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

qt6options(7) — go look if you want the Qt tea, iykyk ☕
