Olivetti is an Emacs minor mode that automatically balances window margins to keep text at a comfortable body width for writing prose. It supports character- or fraction-based widths, interactive resizing, and buffer-local configuration.
Use cases
- create a distraction-free writing environment in Emacs
- center text in the Emacs window with balanced margins
- adjust text body width while writing prose
- write prose and code side-by-side in the same frame
- get a page-like writing layout with margins and fringes
When to choose
- you write prose in Emacs and want comfortable line lengths
- you want a lightweight, buffer-local writing mode that coexists with coding buffers
- you want simple margin balancing without heavyweight distraction-free features
When to avoid
- you need a full distraction-free writing mode with themes and more scope (use Writeroom Mode)
- you don't use Emacs
- you need rich-text or word-processor features
