beacon.nvim VS beacon.nvim

danilamihailov/beacon.nvim might do something similar to what you described.

I would recommend installing a plugin like beacon.nvim or similar which flashes the new location of the cursor whenever it makes a jump. That way it's easier for someone to follow where your cursor is, which is often a reason for confusion otherwise.

I spent the weekend tinkering with Neovim's virtual text and ended up creating this plugin. It's pretty close to being a clone of beacon.nvim but it's written in Lua. I find cursor highlighting very helpful when working on a large monitor where I inevitably end up with various splits.

Hello, guys. I have been using accelerated-jk and beacon.nvim for a long time. I think they are very useful and excellent. But, there has been no a complete version of lua. And recently I also want to start writing plug-ins, so here are they. I hope they will be useful to you.

I use https://github.com/DanilaMihailov/beacon.nvim and I love it. Would recommend.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to do something like neovide's animation inside the terminal, but I find this plugin really useful to display where the cursor is after you switch windows https://github.com/DanilaMihailov/beacon.nvim

Here’s a Lua rewrite someone else did, also for reference: https://github.com/rainbowhxch/beacon.nvim

beacon.nvim in Lua: Flash cursor when jumps or moves between windows.
