We have 4 types of cursor animations in VS Code editor.
phase
, smooth
, expand
and solid
.
To set a particular animation for the cursor in VS Code you need to add a cursor animation setting to your settings.json
file.
Open settings.json
=> ctrl + shift + P
and search for setting.json, add a new setting:
"editor.cursorBlinking": "smooth",
Here is a screen-shot of settings.json
To Change cursor width and Style:
"editor.cursorStyle": "line",
"editor.cursorWidth": 6,
we have 6 styles of cursor in VS Code:
block
, block-outline
, line
, line-thin
, underline
, underline-thin
.
Animation Demos:
