Hanging punctuationĪ feature I love since the very first version, the one and only way to format Markdown headers. If you want to try out Duospace font, it’s available freely at /iaolo/iA-Fonts. Seems like a pretty old limitation, maybe with enough votes it can get the attention it deserves? Vote here, meanwhile, we’re stuck with a strict monospaced version for writing. ST can display non-monospaced fonts, but it turns off bolds/italics if the font is not monospaced. I wish more fonts were like that.Ĭan we reproduce it in Sublime Text? Yes and no. It still looks and feels monospaced, but Ms and Ws are not ugly for no reason anymore. Well, it’s another genius idea from iA: make W and M 1.5× width while leaving the rest of the font monospaced.

It packs so much more than just a cool font. Sadly, I wasn’t able to reproduce everything, which is another reason you might consider buying iA Writer instead of following this guide. To go back, use Profiles: Switch profile command and select Default.

"color_scheme": "Packages/sublime-scheme-writer/Writer.sublime-color-scheme",

Put these settings in (just replace everything you currently have):.

Create a Writing profile via the Profiles: Create profile command.

Via Package Control, install Profile Switcher.

Via Package Control, install Writer Color Scheme.

Sublime Merge diff view 🤷 and all markdown files, some of which I don’t want to see in writing mode.Īlso, Profile Switcher seems like something that can be useful beyond just writing/coding duo. I like this approach less, because it affects e.g. An alternative way would be to put writing-specific settings in Markdown syntax-specific settings file. Meet Profile Switcher! It keeps multiple separate Preferences.sublime-settings files and switches between them instantly. Problem is, writing mode affects multiple separate settings (19 in my case), it’s not just font and color scheme. We are set up for writing, but how do we get back to coding? It matches almost perfectly! You can get my version of IBM Plex Mono at /tonsky/font-writer. So I took a liberty and modified original IBM Plex Mono to match those characteristics. Two things needed adjustment: ever so slightly increased font weight (Text instead of Regular), and an extra 3.5% character width. This is already a very good match, but perfectionist in me wanted to get the exact match. Hover over image or click to compare to iA Writer IA Writer debuted with a proprietary Nitti font, but later switched to IBM Plex Mono, which is published under Open Font License.Īfter few tries and errors, I managed to set font size, line height and page width to the values that corresponds the closes to what iA Writer is doing: Source code: /tonsky/sublime-scheme-writer. Gladly, iA Writer uses the absolute minimum of colors, so this was the easiest part to reproduce. I decided to try to replicate what iA Writer does but inside Sublime Text. It feels limiting not having those at your fingertips.

I got used to Sublime’s conveniences like multiple cursors, Find in Files, Go Anywhere, and Git integration.

Having a self-hosted blog, publishing consists of an occasional CSS/JS/templates editing, which, again, iA Writer is not optimized for.

Recently I moved away from iCloud and in general prefer when tools don’t dictate where I keep my files.

iA Writer’s library is tied to iCloud and you are supposed to keep all your files there.

I prefer to operate in projects and folders, switching back and forth between files. iA Writer is designed to work with a single document at a time.Yet, with time, I started to feel that it’s not the perfect fit for my particular workflow: I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone doing any writing. It is great, both for the inspiration, for the innovation, and the actual implementation. The design is so timeless it barely changed in 10 years.Īnd I’ve been happy with it, I am not going to complain. Here’s a screenshot of the original version of iA Writer from 2011: For me, it has found the perfect balance between features and simplicity, design and focus.

I bought the original iPad version, the original macOS version (when it was still called MacOS X), the Android one, and even the one they re-released as a “paid full-price update”. I’ve been a long-time fan of iA Writer for, well, writing. The setup has proven itself fantastic, I am LOVING it and have zero urge looking anywhere else. I’ve since published three other blog posts here and more than twenty in my telegam channel. UPD: It’s been more than a month since I wrote the original draft for this article.
