PyRoom is a free editor that stays out your way - and keeps other things out of your way, too. As a fullscreen editor without buttons, widgets, formatting options, menus and with only the minimum of required dialog windows, it doesn't have any distractions and lets you focus on writing and only writing.

I just love it. Of all the dark & distraction-free writing tools, PyRoom is the one with the simplest preferences interface and the smallest collection of shortcuts, and that is very good. (The only thing I miss a little is the ESC=minimize feature usual in this class of word processors.) You either write in the default green on black, or choose between the few themes (varying font & background colors) or else configure the "custom" theme. There's autosave. Simple text output. You do the typing.

Cross platform applications are very important to me. Pyroom doest the exact same thing as Writeroom on OS X does. Distraction free, simple, and elegant. Great program for just getting down and writing.

Love pyroom when I just want to get things down on paper - er, screen - without distraction, which let's face it is what it says it'll do.

Love this app! Similar to Q10 by bara on windows brought over to linux and made better! God I love opensource, and PyRoom is a great example of why!

Pyroom is the best (free) distraction-free text editor I've used on either Linux or Windows (though Q10 comes close on Windows). It has the basic features that I want (font options, auto-save, auto-indent), but the flexible theme editor is what sets Pyroom apart for me.
