Maybe this could be useful.
I had a similar need where I always wanted to be able to start writing at a moment's notice, ideally with a key-bind of some sort where I didn't have to wait for the editor splash screen and various indexing operations.
I have created a flow where a key-binded system command would invoke a script which did the following:
1. Create a new instance of a terminal in full-screen mode / maximised (key binding can allow you to open up a terminal instance with parameters to specify view options)
2. In the newly created instance, open up a command line editor (vim in my case).
^^ The above is a simple starting point, however, you could add extra steps like disabling the network interface for a set period in the script, adding templates to different key-binding invocations etc.
