Quite a while back someone posted something about a word processor that was out of your way and simple. Something along the line of Jdarkroom.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Edit: I found PyRoom & TextRoom, if you know of others let me know.

Edit2: Found it, it's called FocusWriter but keep the suggestions coming.

What is wrong with Abiword? It is fast and light, and full featured. Or are you talking about more of a simple text editor... like GEdit?

No. Have a look at the screenshots on the links below to get an idea of what I'm after,

PS. I already have Abiword & Open Office installed.

And you can also use wordgrinder on a tty or terminal.

I'm increasingly leaning toward hand coded html in a text editor when flaky word processors aren't playing nice.
