# Using Typewriter Mode

Typewriter Mode centers your text caret vertically in the window as you type. This keeps the text you are working on, and surrounding text, easily visible. It's especially useful combined with [full screen mode](/using-bike/using-full-screen-mode.md) and [focus mode](/using-bike/using-focus-mode.md).

#### To enable typewriter mode

* View > Typewriter Mode > Enable Typewriter (`Option-Command-T`)
* Alternatively you can use the "Options" menu on the left side of the status bar

#### To configure typewriter mode

Typewriter mode centers your text caret by default. You can also choose "top" or "bottom" to have typewriter mode position your cursor nearer the top or bottom of the window.

* View > Typewriter Mode > Typewriter Top
* View > Typewriter Mode > Typewriter Center
* View > Typewriter Mode > Typewriter Bottom

#### To disable typewriter mode

* View > Typewriter Mode > Disable Typewriter (`Option-Command-T`)
* Alternatively you can use the "Options" menu on the left side of the status bar

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bikeguide.hogbaysoftware.com/using-bike/using-typewriter-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
