+### Distraction-free writing (Ctrl+D)

+**Ctrl+D** folds away everything that is not the page — the toolbar and the file
+list together — leaving the menu bar, the editor and the status line. Press it
+again to bring both back. It is also **View ▸ 🖹 Distraction-free**.
+
+The two panels toggle separately as well, from the pair of buttons at the right
+of the menu bar or from **View ▸ Toolbar** and **View ▸ File list**:
+
+| | Hides | Gives back |
+|---|---|---|
+| **⬆** / **⬇** | the Workspace, Export, Grammar and Spelling rows | about an inch of height |
+| **⬅** / **➡** | the file list down the left | about 260px of width |
+
+Both choices are remembered between runs, so the window opens the way you left
+it. The toggles live in the menu bar rather than in the panels they hide, since
+a control that hides a panel cannot sit inside it, and the menu bar is the one
+strip that never goes away. The status bar is unaffected — the word counts stay
+visible while you write.
+
+The editor grows into whatever the panels give back rather than staying a fixed
+height, so folding them is worth real writing space and not just grey margin.

+Title, author and contact details. The title and author are written into
+exported `.odt` files as their document properties — what a word processor shows
+under File ▸ Properties. A blank title uses the project folder's name. Exports
+previously carried no metadata at all.
+
+**Standard manuscript format** lays the export out the way an agent or an editor
+expects a submission to arrive, which is not a matter of taste: a monospaced,
+double-spaced page is a predictable ~250 words, and the margins leave somewhere
+for their notes to go. Turning it on gives you
+
+- 12pt Courier (readers substitute a metric-compatible font where it is absent),
+  double-spaced, with half-inch first-line indents and no blank line between
+  paragraphs — a blank line would read as a scene break;
+- `Surname / Title / page` flush right on every page but the title page, with
+  the numbering starting at 1 on the first page of text;
+- chapters opening about a third of the way down their page;
+- `---` in your markdown rendered as the conventional centred `#` scene break;
+- a submission title page: contact details in the top-left corner, an
+  approximate word count opposite them in the top-right, and the title a third
+  of the way down with the byline beneath it.
+
+Margins are 1 inch on all four sides of US Letter either way — that part was
+already standard before the option existed.
+
+**Begin exports with a title page** puts a page of its own at the front of every
+export: the title, the author beneath it, and the contact details beneath that,
+with the first chapter starting on the page after (in standard manuscript
+format it takes the submission layout described above instead). The contact box
+is free-form
+and laid out line for line as typed, so an address, an email and a phone number
+each land where you put them — including the blank line you leave between them.
+The option is off by default, and an export with nothing to put on the page
+skips it rather than opening on a blank sheet.
+
+For a chapters-plus-master export the title page goes on the master, not on each
+chapter file.
