In LSB you click on the typewriter function and it opens another window. You can type, but not arrow back through what you wrote. It forces you to keep moving forward with your writing. When you're all done, you hit Exit and what you wrote is added to your document.
I realize that Word and LibreOffice etc have the overtype (whatever it's called) function that means you type over your original stuff, but there's no way to keep from cheating. And believe me, if the option was there, I would end up going back to fix my mistakes when I see them and pretty soon I would lose my place and it would be five hours later with no writing done.
I am very easily distracted by shiny things
and I don't want to have to use six different programs when I'm used to just two -- Scrivener and LibreOffice.
