1 #+TITLE: Beacon --- Never lose your cursor again
3 This is a global minor-mode. Turn it on everywhere with:
8 [[file:example-beacon.gif]]
10 Whenever the window scrolls a light will shine on top of your cursor
11 so you know where it is.
17 - The appearance of the beacon is configured by ~beacon-size~ and
20 - The duration is configured by ~beacon-blink-duration~ and
23 - To customize /when/ the beacon should blink at all, configure
24 ~beacon-blink-when-window-scrolls~,
25 ~beacon-blink-when-window-changes~, and
26 ~beacon-blink-when-point-moves~.
28 - To prevent the beacon from blinking only on some major-modes,
29 configure ~beacon-dont-blink-major-modes~. For specific buffers, you
30 can do ~(setq-local beacon-mode nil)~. For even more refined
31 control, configure ~beacon-dont-blink-predicates~
33 - Beacon can also push the mark for you whenever point moves a long
34 distance. For this, configure ~beacon-push-mark~.
