VSCode-like smooth caret plugin for Intellij IDEA
Install from JetBrains Marketplace
You can configure the plugin in Settings > Editor > Smooth Caret
- Enable blinking: Toggle caret blinking animation. When disabled, the caret remains constantly visible.
-
Animation smoothness (5-30%): Controls how smooth the caret movement is. Lower values create smoother animations, while higher values make the movement more direct.
-
Catch-up speed (30-80%): Determines how quickly the caret catches up during normal typing. Higher values make the caret more responsive but less smooth.
-
Max catch-up speed (50-100%): Sets the maximum speed for catching up during fast typing. This ensures the caret doesn't fall too far behind during rapid input.
-
Adaptive speed: When enabled, automatically adjusts animation speed based on typing speed.
- Animation smoothness: 15%
- Catch-up speed: 50%
- Max catch-up speed: 80%
- Adaptive speed: Enabled
- Blinking: Enabled
