Smooth Cursor is a Neovim plugin designed to enhance visual navigation by adding an animated sub-cursor in the signcolumn. It helps users track their cursor position during scrolling, jumping, or mode changes, reducing disorientation in complex editing sessions. ## Key Features - **Directional Indicator** — Shows scroll or jump direction with a sub-cursor to prevent losing your place. - **Multiple Display Modes** — Offers "default", "exp" (exponential), "matrix", and customizable "fancy" modes for varied visual effects. - **Customizable Appearance** — Allows configuration of cursor shape, highlight groups, and line highlighting to match your theme. - **Mode-Aware Highlights** — Supports automatic highlight changes based on Neovim modes (normal, insert, visual) via autocommands. - **Performance Controls** — Configurable speed, intervals, thresholds, and timeouts for smooth animation without lag. - **Filetype Management** — Enables or disables the plugin for specific file types to optimize behavior. ## Philosophy Smooth Cursor prioritizes visual clarity and minimal intrusion, providing a subtle yet effective aid for navigation without disrupting the editing workflow.
