![zen mode by https://github.com/alex35mil/dotfiles](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4244251/266051812-5adc68e7-e2ac-4f1e-9093-f995cbd0f561.png "Zen mode by https://github.com/alex35mil/dotfiles")

## Capabilities

- Simple plugin that centers the main buffer.
- Compatible with side buffer plugins _(like
  [neo-tree.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim))_.
- Automatically toggles side buffers whenever a side buffer is opened/closed
  without flickering.
- Responsive during resizing.
- Supports tabs, horizontal and vertical splits.
- Layout and positioning options.
- Removes the need for a visual guide showing the maximum line width
  _(`ColorColumn`)_.
- Reduces neck strain and improves focus.
