# CURSOR-BREATHE-MODE
An Emacs minor mode that animates the cursor width in a slow breathing pattern, making it more visible without relying on blinking.
## Why
Because it's cool! And while a blinking cursor can be jarring, it is also more visible than a static one. This is both dynamic enough to catch the eye, yet static enough to always be visible.
## Installation
### straight.el
```elisp
(use-package cursor-breathe-mode
:straight (cursor-breathe-mode
:type git
:repo "https://git.etenil.net/cursor-breathe-mode.el")
:config (cursor-breathe-mode 1))
```
### Manual
Copy `cursor-breathe-mode.el` somewhere on your `load-path`, then:
```elisp
(require 'cursor-breathe-mode)
(cursor-breathe-mode 1)
```
## Usage
Toggle with `M-x cursor-breathe-mode`.
## Customisation
All options are under `M-x customize-group cursor-breathe`.
- `curbreathe/cursor-type`: shape to animate: `hbar` (horizontal bar,
default) or `bar` (vertical bar)
- `curbreathe/min-size`: minimum width in pixels (default `2`)
- `curbreathe/max-size`: maximum width in pixels (default `8`)
- `curbreathe/frame-rate`: animation steps per second (default `10`)
## Caveats
Emacs is complex and single-threaded, so sometimes the timer looks 'stuck', it is usually temporary and will defreeze when another command is run.
Only `bar` and `hbar` cursor types are supported for the foreseeable future (depends on emacs cursor implementation.)
