From bdb4da01c555337fe08167e420b06a3e3f5548ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Schneider Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 08:45:01 -0300 Subject: T2: JumpTrail, a terminal cursor's jump leaves a short fading trail MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit JumpTrail on|off (off; the tty shell's, ยง9.2 T2): a jump of three cells or more leaves three to five cells of trail behind the cursor along its path, their ground mixed toward the text's colour in OKLab (most beside the cursor), fading out over 120 ms. Truecolor terminals only (vaxis's answer, or COLORTERM truecolor/24bit); never the cursor's own cell, a selection or anything outside the focused pane's body; none under Motion off. It rides the continuous path (Pardes.shell_continuous) while it lasts; a few cells of output a frame. docs/effects.md opens the terminal track with the audit under decision 2 (keep and polish, remove nothing). Tests: a ten-cell jump lights 3 to 5 cells behind the cursor on its row, gone by 120 ms; a one-cell step and a terminal without truecolor light none. Feel review: .scratch/render/tty/trail/ (a real tty session replayed through pyte at 60 fps). --- docs/config.md | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/config.md') diff --git a/docs/config.md b/docs/config.md index c66b124e..1d83bd8e 100644 --- a/docs/config.md +++ b/docs/config.md @@ -582,6 +582,9 @@ Parallax on a theme's page pattern (lapis's dots) moves with the text at a quarter of its speed Afterglow on text that changes glows for a moment in the theme's accent and fades (250 ms), never on a tag, the cursor or a selection +JumpTrail on in a terminal, a jump of the cursor of three cells or more + leaves a trail of a few cells that fades in 120 ms + (truecolor terminals; a pixel shell glides instead) CursorBlink on the cursor blinks, solid while typing and half a second after, eased at each edge, solid after 10 idle seconds GripWidth 150 the grip's button and the scrollbar under it, percent of the -- cgit v1.3
