Here it's less dramatic and hence more useful.

I wish more terminals implemented something similar.

Author here, I just chose the fire cursor for the demo. There are lots of other shaders available, eg https://github.com/KroneCorylus/ghostty-shader-playground/tr..., they have a simple smear cursor like Neovide's.

The fire is perfect for the demo, and for screencasts maybe.

Kitty also supports them with the cursor_trail option: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#opt-kitty.cursor_trail

As a kitty user, I'll have to try this out.

Thanks!

I never knew this was a thing.

This is so fucking cool. I'm going to add this right away.
