title: "Focusing on one thread"
---

Focus fades everything except the note you're writing in and the notes
around it, so the rest of the page doesn't pull at your eye.

To turn it on or off:

- Open search and click the **Focus** switch in the row along the bottom.
- Or press **Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-F**.

While you edit a note, its whole top-level note stays fully visible, with
everything nested inside it. Every other top-level note on the page fades.
In the journal, other days fade too. Move to another note and the fade
follows you.

Nothing fades while you aren't editing a note.

Focus turns off again when you quit Mimir.
