Search, Full Screen and Focus Mode

[giteshsharma]

I shared these ideas in previously on this post but sharing here again so we can have a healthy discussion on these features.

These are the Ideas

Fullscreen Mode

Layout Icons Changes

This will help user to know on which layout he is currently on, This will solve this github's issue as well

UX Proposal: Provide three buttons instead of one - each for one layout

Properties

Focus Mode
This mode has been requested by many people and they really want it.

These designs looks awesome. But not really a fan of moving the text formatting toolbar anywhere else. It’s the best place for it to be IMO. Maybe a zen-mode that hides all sidebars and toolbars? Now that’s what I’d wish for.

Nice design, very clean and simple. Any chance of it having just the Note editor maximized with everything hidden so that you can stay focused on writing… like iA Writer?

There was already a discussion, that some people (including me) prefere to have the option to hide the sidebars completely

Search
This feature need a lot of discussion because it needs effort and changes to build it. and it is not perfect right now, instead of using tabs we have alternative to use regex only just like we currently have on joplin like "#" for tags

Feature we can implement right now in Joplin

1. Fullscreen Icon - In the toolbar we can add this button
2. Layout Icon - This will let user know the current screen he is using. Just need to change the icon of layout in toolbar
3. Hide & Show for Joplin
   
   
   

Focus mode is not complicated, it will just hide the sidebars and will play with opacity of objects, like this

4. Properties - Instead of showing Note Properties and content properties with different icon, we can show them using single icon
   
   

I like to know everyones opinions on these Ideas

Can anybody take a look at last three images?

This looks very good; I hope it will be implemented. For me, I particularly am looking for the full screen (distraction-free) mode.

I would love to have this features - the Full Screen Mode and the Focus Mode - implemented!

[bepolymathe]

Yes me too !

I see this GitHub issue about Focus Mode FeatureRequest: Focus Mode / Zen Mode · Issue #1713 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub but it is closed

Distraction free (focus) mode and full screen mode would be great, also presentation mode with a bigger font and spoilers (sensitive information) not showing for the audience

Hi,

I'm new to Joplin, I often use it on a vertical screen where there isn't much room in width. So I use the keyboard shortcuts to toggle the sidebar and the list of notes, and I also often have to toggle the panels of the plugins I use: Favorites, History, Outline.

A button to toggle everything at once would be great.

While waiting for the possible addition of this functionality, are there other solutions?

I saw this but I don't really understand what to do, and I'm afraid it might be risky:

Notebook, Note, To-do, Tag, Search Favorites Plugin

Re: One button to toggle on and off the sidebar, notes list and favorites Hi all. In case anyone is interested, I managed to work out how to fix this. The current visibility of panels is held in a global setting, so I use that. I can't just use the existing toggle commands, because the order in which you make each panel visible and invisible is important, and different depending on whether you are toggling on or off! If you happen to want a button which toggles the sidebar, notes list and favo…

Thanks
