That’s crazy talk, Hugh! Don’t you know that the human will is impossible!? Or was that indomitable? I always get those confused.
I still think computers are eventually going to evolve to a point where typed words get “written” directly to hard copy as you go. A “type-to-write …er”, if you will. It’s the wave of the future! They might even make a version that doesn’t require electricity. I know, I know, that’s also crazy talk. That gives me an idea…
But why stop there, Robert? I want to be able to put a helmet on, imagine the book, and that’s it. None of that typing malarkey. I could party every night. Scrivener 10?
Now you’re just talking Buck Rogers nonsense. Seriously, I suppose you also expect to someday have a camera that doesn’t require film, or a phone without buttons!
Where is Linda these days? She always put Vic-K in his place.
pseingalt - I’m sorry your feature request has turned into a bit of a free-for-all; I haven’t stepped in or closed the thread because it’s all been in good humour, I think, and we listen to all feature requests - hopefully my earlier reply explanation for why your feature request isn’t something that fits into Scrivener puts things to rest (I’m the developer). Also, funnily enough the original working title for Scrivener was “Hemingway” for a while.
pseingalt, if you wander around here enough, you’ll see this kind of off-topicing all over, especially once the official word has come down from Keith. It’s just part of the quirk that keeps some of us cranky old fogies coming back.
It took ages to get the missus to replace the Boris Karloff painting; I’d settle for Brad’s dreamy bedroom eyes…
This old thread inspired me to write a short Autohotkey script that implements the Astrohaus Freewrite’s version of a Hemingaway distraction-free mode for Scrivener. You can get the script here.
