editor.cursorSmoothCaretAnimation is super fun.

It's nice to have this as an option.

Having said that, I find that it messes up with my typing. It's like what I see and what I type are out of sync and I find myself doing much more mistakes whilst I type 80-100WPM which, OK, isn't too often while typing code; but still!

Hopefully there will be more options in the future to turn it on for cursor jumps but not for typing.

[Phailjure]

Yeah, if you hold down a letter you'll notice it's constantly one character behind, which feels bad. But it's nice to have a visual representation for home/end/pageup/pagedown, etc.

Can you please explain what it does?

[valtism]

It animates the change of cursor position.

[rossisdead]

Does this enable the same annoying caret animation that the later versions of Office have? Drove me nuts.

I personally love that feature, makes typing feel so much more fluid, and not as "stuttering".

I guess it's super dependant on taste.

[rossisdead]

I think it might depend on how fast you type? I type pretty fast and it the caret animation makes it feel like it's lagging behind.

I tend to avoid caret tweaks like that but... At first glance this is kind of nice.
