I wonder when Fedora/CentOS will have versions...
I don't see how this tool is more productive than LO Writer of MS Word. Please explain.

focuswriter.x86_64 : A full screen, distraction-free writing program
Good that there is a distraction free mode in QOwnNotes too.

Using Focuswriter 1.6.1.12 on lubuntu.
A really nice app, which does almost everything I want it to do, and actually does do the one thing I'm really anxious for it to do, but is really shy about telling me how to do it!
As a paranoid writer, I think that autosave is the most important feature to have in a writing app. It's really frustrating to discover by dedicated googling that
(a) it does have autosave
(b) it's disabled by default for new users,
(c) nobody seems willing to actually describe the steps for turning this vital feature on!
Please help
