The Spotlight mode

The distraction-free environment created by this mode is convenient for both editing and reading documents.

To enable the Spotlight mode, choose the "View | Spotlight" menu command, or click the Spotlight Button image button of the View toolbar The 'View' toolbar .

When the Spotlight mode is on, Atlantis by default displays a dedicated Spotlight context toolbar:

Tips:

  • The Spotlight mode can be used as a convenient Reader mode. Just activate the Spotlight mode, then use the Up and Down cursor keys to navigate within the document under the spotlight.

    To minimize eye movement when reading texts, make sure that the "Center spotlight vertically" option is checked within the Spotlight settings. Normally you would not need a blinking cursor (caret) in the document when reading. So you can check the "Hide the text cursor" option as well:

  • To make the working environment even less distracting, you can use the Spotlight mode in conjunction with the Full Screen mode. To activate the Full Screen mode, choose the "View | Full Screen" menu command, click the Full Screen Button image button of the View toolbar The 'View' toolbar , or press F9.
