Ditto. I am a constant rewriter, as I go and each time I come back to it.
If I really wanted a typewriter mode (under Windows) I'd just start up a command window and enter the command: copy con myfile.txt
When you want out just hit F6 and press enter. In this mode you can edit the current line (sort of) but you can't edit previous lines. The resulting myfile.txt is plain text that can copied into any program you want.
