Comment (by azaozz):

 Been testing/playing with [https://github.com/avryl/focus the plugin] for
 some time, trying to "get a feel for it" when using it for extended
 periods of time:

 - The menu sliding is quite distracting, even though it happens on
 hover/mouse move. This is something I really hate: any moving "things"
 while trying to concentrate reading, even worse when writing. IMHO fading
 out is a lot less distracting.

 - I like the idea to have two steps fade-out and quite fast fade-in (about
 150-200ms). The whole fade out could be:
  - Wait for 3 sec.
  - Fade to about 25%.
  - Wait for 2-3 sec. (can be longer).
  - Fade out completely.

 - Hiding the Add Media and editor switching buttons on scrolling down
 seems good but makes it a bit uncomfortable when you need to use them. The
 direction you normally scroll while writing is down. You need to scroll a
 bit up to show them, that "looses" the current place on the screen where
 the caret is.

 - A good enhancement would be to keep the caret a bit higher than the
 editor bottom (have some white space at the end). IMHO it's uncomfortable
 when typing near the bottom of the screen.
