Focus Editor

The Focus Editor provides a clean, distraction-free environment for drafting articles, essays, memos, and project notes. It helps you focus on writing without interruptions, organizes your ideas into structured categories, and exports your work directly to PDF or Markdown.

2. The Writing Experience

Neuro-Ergonomic Reading Corridor

The editor limits line lengths to an optimal reading width (68 characters). This prevents eye strain during long writing sessions. The dark mode color scheme reduces glare by avoiding harsh pure-white text on pitch-black backgrounds.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Cmd + F or Ctrl + F: Open the in-editor search and replace bar to find matches directly in the text without browser overlay drift.
• Cmd + . or Ctrl + .: Toggle Focus Mode on and off.
• Escape: Close the search bar, exit Focus Mode, or close the editor overlay when inside the Reactor.

Floating Formatting Toolbar

When you highlight any text passage, a floating formatting pill automatically appears above your selection. You can toggle Bold, Italics, Headings (H1, H2), Bulleted or Numbered Lists, Blockquotes, and Inline Code without having to remember markdown symbols.

Distraction-Free Flow Guard

When you are actively typing, the editor hides category tags and secondary badges. This ensures your thought process remains uninterrupted. Once you pause for two seconds, the editor quietly scans your text to surface key topics and structure.

3. Organizing with Categories

The editor automatically organizes key elements of your text into four distinct categories:

• Claims (These): Core statements, arguments, and conclusions.
• Evidence (Beleg): Supporting data, studies, benchmarks, and quotations.
• Action (Aufgabe): Next steps, recommendations, and execution tasks.
• Topic (Thema): General subjects and thematic tags.

You can click any category in the top ribbon to filter your tags and view which concepts appear in your document.

4. Exporting and Sharing

Copy Formatted Text (Word & Google Docs)

Click Kopieren (or Copy) in the header to place your formatted document directly onto your clipboard. When you paste into Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, or email clients, all your headings, bold text, italics, and lists are preserved without requiring any markdown conversion.

Publication-Grade PDF Export (Zero LLM)

Click the PDF button to reveal 4 tailored design templates. All exports are compiled deterministically with Typst WASM—your original text is preserved losslessly without any generative AI modification or summarization:

1. Clean Dokument (Standard): Minimalist A4 portrait design with 68ch reading corridor and running headers.
2. Executive Memo: C-level boardroom layout featuring an action-oriented header and a prominent colored lead box.
3. Strategic Dossier: Think-tank whitepaper format featuring a dedicated monochrome cover page and editorial pacing.

When using the Focus Editor within the Reactor, click In Pool übernehmen to save your text directly into your active ideation pool. Your text and tags will be immediately available for brainstorming, sparring, and synthesis workflows.

Idea Lab Card Synthesis & Round-Trip

When working within the 2D Idea Lab, the Focus Editor operates as a slide-over synthesis drawer:

• Insert Selected Cards: Select one or more cards on the canvas and click Karten einfügen (Insert Cards) in the editor drawer. The editor extracts the headlines, categories, and descriptions directly into your draft at your cursor position.
• Auto-Save Draft: Your in-progress synthesis is preserved in local browser storage, allowing you to close and reopen the drawer freely while panning and zooming the canvas.
• Send to Reactor Chat: Click In Reactor Chat senden to send your finished document draft directly into the main prompt bar, ready for next-phase prompts or deep recipe execution.
