Smooth following cursor

Open ThinLiquid opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

This isn't a very urgent request but more of a QOL addition, but a smooth cursor that glides similar to VSCode or MS Word (the newer versions). I personally think that these look very nice and would be an amazing addition to the code editor!

By "Smooth cursor" do you mean something similar to the cursor with Cursor Blinking set to smooth in VSCode settings?

No, I mean like when you type the caret glides, its this setting! image

This was easy to implement actually. I might consider making it an extension. StackBlitz example.

There is a small issue when word wrap is enabled though. I will improve it in version 3.3.2, but it's near impossible to fix properly.

Nice! Glad to see it working :3

After further consideration, I won't be making an extension out of this. Implementing it yourself requires little code and an extension would be harder to customize.
