Options

With Tools > Distraction-free writing plugin Options, you can open the options dialog box.

Apply changes

When switching between sections, or when leaving the distraction free writing mode, changes of the section content will be applied to the novelibre project.

If the Ask for confirmation checkbox is checked, you will be asked for confirmation.

Note

Applying changes does not save your current project on disk, but update it in memory, and set the change notification in the novelibre footer bar. To save changes while in distraction-free writing mode, press Ctrl-S.

Word count

By default, word count is updated manually by pressing the F5 key.

If the Live update checkbox is checked, the word count can be updated “live”, i.e. just while entering text.

Note

Live updating the word count is resource intensive and may slow down the program when editing big sections. This is why it’s disabled by default.

Color sets

You can select a color set (theme) by clicking on the button below the preview.
