The distraction-free status is not part of the saved editor layout, and I don't think it should be. Most IDEs out there also don't persist their distraction-free status across restarts, as that can be problematic for users who accidentally enable it and don't know how to exit it.

So I propose an option of the editor to activate it automatically in the script editor, with this you will not have to be reactivating it every time you start godot

I'm afraid this is too niche to warrant having its own editor setting. To me, it sounds like creating a small editor plugin would better fit your use case. (If you don't want to install a plugin in every project, implementing global plugins would be the way to go.)

Hi,

I don't feel it is a niche feature : I think it should be added as an option because it's not logical to display nodes panel in the script editor each time the software is launched and that then, you go to script edition. Every single time I launch the software, when I open the script section, I have to toggle on "distraction free mode". Which is annoying, not user friendly.

By the way, I think you are mistaking about what is a free distraction mode. Here, in script editor of godot, what's called "no distraction mode" is only the basic script layout that most engines have and that godot should have, so I think the basic layout for scripting should be thinked again, and that a true "no distraction mode" should be implemented such as the one that you could find in sublime text for example (no panels at all, only the code).

This is a distraction free mode to me : image

This should be the basic layout of the script editor when you switch from 2D/3D to script (instead of going in what's currently called "distraction free mode" each time you relaunch the software) : image

I think that on the contrary, the current basic mode is a niche as you call it, because who is really using nodes and panels in the script section ? I'm not sure anyone find that usefull here, but maybe I'm mistaken.
