Excellent, thanks very much for all the help!

In full screen mode and with scrollbars turned off, AP now offers a perfect "text writing window". Due to all the other features and customizability it is now hands down better than any of the dedicated full screen writing environments I've tried. For:

* Custom syntax highlighting allows me to use Markdown with joy.
* Transparent mode is very good for short reading notes.
* Code folding seems excellent for outlining (though I haven't set this up properly for my Markdown syntax file yet).
* Autocomplete lets me use a kind of "tagging" for organizing notes and generating tag clouds with this great Perl script.
* The "Execute" command provides a one-key integration with Pandoc, MultiMarkdown, LaTeX etc. Really handy for formatting documents.
* Additionally, only some days ago I discovered the scripts for Translit.ru and Google Translate -- another feature right into bulls-eye, considering my needs. (From time to time I need to write in my cucumbersome Russian; won't try this here though :))
* I'm not gonna mention APs speed, footprint, portability and the amazing manual here.
* And now these scripts to create a full screen mode exactly to my liking. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

So, by all means, I admire the work you do with AP, guys. And I think every "dumbuser" really appreciates a community like the one here. (I thought I need to say this.)

For the last year, AP used to be just my beloved tool for jotting down notes. Now it's my "Swiss army knife" of all text-related work. Me aside, I think at least this guy will now be very glad too :)

Best,
M.

A dark theme, my custom Markdown highlighting and the standard "lorem ipsum" text. Scrollbars are off, left and right margins 255px, top and bottom margins 40px. Very comfy, minimalist and nice.
