The preview release of Bike 1.9 adds typewriter mode.
I’ve been playing with typewriter mode in different Mac apps and I’m really liking Scrivener’s implementation. It’s different from other implementations in that it’s much less invasive.
Unlike most implementations it doesn’t scroll you to a predefined position (such as screen center). Instead it just maintains the current position as you type. This gives the user flexibly to set the position where they want to type and also avoids the problem of the view scrolling as soon as you start typing… (or for other implementations) anytime you move the cursor.
I’m curious to hear what people who use typewriter mode often think about it? I’m wondering if it makes sense to make Bike’s typewriter mode work like that instead of offering the Top / Center / Bottom variations. I think I would prefer to change to a Scrivener like implementation. @macosxguru?
