How to setup Terminal Cursor Animations (3 Methods)
How to setup Terminal Cursor Animations (3 Methods)
Thanks for watching! What are your thoughts on cursor animations? I think they look really nice, but they can be distracting at times. Even so, I think cursor animations are a really awesome feature!
I didn't mention Neovide (https://neovide.dev/) because 1. it's not a terminal and 2. I forgot to. Neovide is great, but I prefer a terminal first, neovim second workflow, rather than the other way around. They are the reason these animations are gaining so much attention though, so credit where it's due!

I didn't go very in-depth with how to setup smear-cursor.nvim. I recommend using a package manager for nvim (I use https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim) and then copy and pasting the setup code from the readme into a plugin file. Lazy.nvim has better documentation on their website.
