I don't know much about scripting vim, but I would like to learn more, especially if I could get all the great vim keyboard control in a zen environment.

Now I'm curious. I imagine that I could emulate much of the OmmWriter
experience by running Vim in a full-screened, chromeless terminal in a
compositing windowmanager with electric sheep running in the root
window, and typing on a classic IBM 101-key keyboard. I would still
have to get some new-agey music, to to complete the effect...

I downloaded OmmWriter to enhance my creativity through chromatherapy,
but being coerced into giving up my email address really dimmed my
aura. It just felt so... corporate.

In case you have a Wintendo or a Mac and wish to free your spirit from
distractions, here are the direct download links:

http://www.ommwriter.com/en/download-ommwriter-dana-i-mac.html
http://www.ommwriter.com/en/download-ommwriter-dana-i-pc.html

At any rate, their website was fun to read. Especially the
explanation of why they opted for a horizontal cursor over of a
vertical one.
