Checklist

  • Zettlr does not possess this feature (if it does, but the feature doesn't work out for you, propose an enhancement instead.)
  • Zettlr's current features cannot be used to approximate this behaviour (otherwise, propose an enhancement instead.)
  • I have searched the documentation to make sure I did not overlook it.
  • I have searched both open and closed issues to see if someone has already proposed this.

Feature Proposal

I like distraction free mode, but given the bugs with saving I've experienced (#4959, #5109) I need the asterisk that shows whether Zettlr is tracking modifications to the file to be visible. I turned off autosave because I don't trust it, so I need to be sure I have saved changes manually.

Example Workflow

My recommendation is to place it in the bottom bar with the word count/character count.

Caveats

I don't think there are any caveats. Personally I am very distracted by wondering whether my file is saved or not, which sort of defeats the purpose of Distraction Free Mode :)

Do you wish to attempt implementing this yourself?

Yes

Platforms

  • macOS
  • Linux

Additional Information

I haven't worked on Zettlr before but I'd be willing to take a stab at this if you can point me at where to look.
