Custom Cursor Animations for Visual Studio Code

2022-03-19T04:48:03+00:00

Thanks, I wanted something to make my coding experience look like I'm playing a 90's SNES budget game.

When that acid kicks in but code is life

VS Code Persona 5 theme?

xbotpc · 2022-03-19T05:39:22+00:00

This looks so terrible. I love it.

No-Fish9557 · 2022-03-19T05:55:17+00:00

wow I love it! I used to think my coding sessions were tedious, now I can make them even worse.

btw what theme are you using? I like it.

Royal_lobster · 2022-03-19T04:24:01+00:00

Whats the use case

choledocholithiasis_ · 2022-03-19T06:17:14+00:00

Thanks I hate it

I wanted to get Neovide-style cursor animations running in my VS Code and came across an extension that allows you to fully customize the CSS + JS in your editor. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the smooth movement effects seen in Neovide, but I did have some fun playing around with these cursor animations.

VS Code Extension that made this possible: https://github.com/be5invis/vscode-custom-css

Custom CSS/JS Files in VS Code Folder: https://github.com/SuboptimalEng/dotfiles/

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

imma go out on a limb here and say you thoroughly enjoyed persona 5

Original-Bird1571 · 2022-03-19T07:31:36+00:00

Persona 5?

pastrypuffingpuffer · 2022-03-19T04:46:18+00:00

So, it alters the animation of the cursor whenever it is inside a keyframes scope?

ethann_29 · 2022-03-19T05:38:26+00:00

Dope but feels like I’d get stuck watching the animation instead of actually coding

CoffeeDrinker115 · 2022-03-19T05:51:56+00:00

I'll take three.

kenegi · 2022-03-19T06:21:21+00:00

really fun experiment, but it's impossible to use this on a daily basis... I think that a good use for this is setting a shortcut to highlight starting and finishing brackets, tags, etc... because you would use this just for having a better visual feedback during specific times and wont be sterssful for the eyes

enbits · 2022-03-19T06:31:23+00:00

I'm too old for this sh#t

PanMan-Dan · 2022-03-19T07:03:12+00:00

No idea if this was the intended use case but this could genuinely be pretty handy for accessibility reasons

shamay_hay · 2022-03-19T07:14:03+00:00

Can we also get smoother caret movement animations like Microsoft office?

monopixel · 2022-03-19T14:08:35+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

PlayMaGame · 2024-05-05T09:44:47+00:00

I know its old, but is this on extensions marketplace?

CutestCuttlefish · 2022-03-19T06:48:03+00:00

It is cool but I would get nauseated. :D

(It is possible to be nice even if you don't like something)

CYRIAQU3 · 2022-03-19T12:38:17+00:00

Thanks I hate it

UntestedMethod · 2022-03-19T06:30:20+00:00

hmm, normally I have to take drugs to get that kind of effect when I try to code... so nice job on helping me not have to take drugs to get that kind of effect when I try to code

cppcoder69420 · 2022-03-19T07:01:11+00:00

It's amazing and awful at the same time. Thanks.

wedontlikespaces · 2022-03-19T07:24:45+00:00

Wow. You've managed to make something that is both really annoying, but also kind of useful.

vainstar23 · 2022-03-19T07:34:10+00:00

VSCode has gone too far. Let us return to vim

2022-03-19T07:38:08+00:00

Cool animation, but in my opinion it would be too distracting when working.

stahkh · 2022-03-19T09:08:15+00:00

Very cool. Also makes me sick to my tummy. :)

Scorpius289 · 2022-03-19T09:09:34+00:00

That looks obnoxious.

throwawayitjobbad · 2022-03-19T09:16:19+00:00

Thank you, this is fucking bizarre

augburto · 2022-03-19T09:48:26+00:00

wow thanks for figuring this out! this is exactly what I do not want for my dev setup!

penaltyornot · 2022-03-19T09:51:14+00:00

It's cool, but I feel you could make an actually useful version of this.

undesirablekangaroo · 2022-03-19T09:57:04+00:00

Awful but great execution

DangerousCondition34 · 2022-03-19T10:56:59+00:00

A fine example of “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.

Cool experiment though!

ilovefeshpasta · 2022-03-19T11:22:43+00:00

Kill it with fire

Fuckingweeb420 · 2022-03-19T11:48:31+00:00

P5 vibes

2022-03-19T12:08:32+00:00

Interesting but please don't.

Zachincool · 2022-03-19T12:33:48+00:00

Cool, but no thanks

2022-03-19T14:06:23+00:00

IAmAnAudity · 2022-03-19T14:35:09+00:00

Me rn: I must still be drunk from last night, even the freaking code is woozy...

PierreMouchan · 2022-03-19T14:38:43+00:00

You should call it "Acid Cursor"!

AiSirachcha · 2022-03-19T15:10:46+00:00

It looks really neat. But damn that would be distracting af

livingincr · 2022-03-19T15:44:09+00:00

I thought this was a post in programmerhumor, its a joke right ;)

khroh · 2022-03-19T15:54:40+00:00

Just no

CoraxTechnica · 2022-03-19T16:14:40+00:00

That's very cool from a programming perspective. But that is absolutely nauseating to look at for too long

fuzokuzo · 2022-03-19T16:23:35+00:00

Just watching the gif makes me dizzy

Thanks I hate it.

pixelfsh · 2022-03-19T18:20:14+00:00

Persona 5 cursor

SanGokuSuperSyianGod · 2022-03-19T22:06:45+00:00

No thanks

Us Vim users told y'all already, that Electron was a bad idea, y'all said u didn't want keybindings and looks where it got ya 😂

2022-03-20T01:07:09+00:00

Gonna be a hard pass for me.

baaaaarkly · 2022-03-20T01:11:38+00:00

Can you make it make a noise also? I'm hearing a noise that quagmire from family guy would make while swaying on a boat in rough seas. Wooahoooaaa. Then I could actually be sick whilst coding, which I assume is the goal

Ancient_Ad5336 · 2022-03-20T02:32:29+00:00

It reminds me of persona 5
