    Is there a distraction-free writing mode like Vimroom(a plugin of Vim)?

      @donho - I’m confused, isn’t that already implemented? F12 aka post-it mode?

        You mean Fullscreen mode (F11) + PostIt (F12) I suppose.
        Basically Distraction Free Mode is implemented with both features above combined, but plus the padding on the left & right side.
        It looks like that:

          correct, except that I do not use the full screen mode, but the current window size like this

            So this mode may be useful for you :)

              @donho - I assume, yes :-D

              But how is it different to the current implementation??

                The difference appears to be some artificial whiteness between line number area and column 1 data. IMO this is not too useful but I’m sure some users requested it.

                  @Alan-Kilborn - oh - I see, hmm … not sure I like it, but who knows, maybe I do when I get used to it :)

                    Other than what @Alan-Kilborn mentioned, it also appears that your post-it-mode–without–fullscreen leaves your desktop background visible, whereas “distraction free” appears to be using a full screen but with margins to keep the text from getting annoyingly wide, so the remaining portion of the monitor is set to the same background color as your text editing, rather than to whatever Windows background image or color you have set. (At least, when I do just F12 PostIt without F11 FullScreen, I can see my background image.) So maybe some people consider their Desktop image to be a “distraction” as well.

                      Well, then … :-D
                      My background color is the same as in npp, hence no distraction :)

                        You must be eagerly awaiting “dark mode”! :-)
