Ah, I see. That takes care of centering the text, unfortunately it doesn’t cover the rest of my desktop so I end up seeing this mess in the image below The end result is very distracting, I wouldn’t really considered it a replacement for Distraction Free Mode. Your words said “Distraction Free Mode” without “Fullscreen”. “Fullscreen” is the aspect of DFM that covers the full screen. If it’s not too much trouble, I would really appreciate it Distraction Free Mode cold be made Borderless default or optionally. Still not sure what you mean by “borderless”. And when you came to the “General Discussion” section of this Forum, just below the New Topic button you pushed, there was a “Please Read This Before Posting”, which says, “Please note that while we will try to help you, and even can try to confirm software bugs with you, this Forum is not the official issue tracker. If there is a bug in Notepad++, posting about it in this Community Forum will not make an official request to get the bug fixed. We have a FAQ entry on Feature Requests and Bug Reports.” – and while that page specifically mentioned “bug”, the FAQ that it links to explains that both bugs and feature requests are tracked in the same Issue Tracker (not here, in the discussion forum made up of fellow users of Notepad++) In the other post, you mention: “AlwaysOnTop” OFF Based on your feedback from multiple suggestions, and especially this comment, what you really seemed to want was “Distraction Free Mode” without “Always On Top”. I’m not sure why you were using “Fullscreen” to mean “Always On Top”. You can use AutoHotkey to run this script: Unnecessary. Any permanent menu command in Notepad++ can have a shortcut assigned via the Shorcuct Mapper. So use Settings > Shortcut Mapper to assign a shortcut to View > Always On Top (like the Shift+F12 you put in AHK), you can use that shortcut as long as you’ve clicked in the editing portion of the Distraction Free mode. update: Or, with the macro below (*), you can set Shift+F12 to run both View > Distraction Free Mode and View > Always On Top with a single keystroke. Since DFM enables AOT, then doing AOT second in the macro will turn it back off. <Macro name="DistractionNotOnTop" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="yes" Key="123"> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="44011" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="44034" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> With that keystroke on the Macro, you can then easily toggle on and off your preferred combo of “Distraction Free, but Not Always On Top” (*: if you manually edit shortcuts.xml to add that macro, you’ll need to run Run > Validate shortcuts.xml afterward, to confirm that you know you manually edited the config file.)

Hi @guy038 , to your question about the 8 logical processors: they don’t really matter here. The load threads do very little computing, they mostly wait for the key to deliver the next file. How many reads can usefully run at once depends on the drive, not on the CPU. That’s why auto picks the count by drive type: 4 for local drives like your key, 8 for network drives, where every file waits for the server, and 1 for hard disks, where parallel reads would just make the heads jump back and forth. On a key with a weaker controller, 8 could just as well be slower than 4. On yours it’s slightly faster, so feel free to keep it. 8 is also the maximum. One more thing: your first comparison showed 27 053 hits in the same 646 files, now it’s 27 010. Did anything change on the key in between?
