* Caret: glide and fade like Word for Windows; File › Options › Animation turns it off
The caret no longer jumps and switches on and off. A key or typing glides
it to its new place in 100 ms along cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0, 1), the same for
one character and for a whole line; a second key before it arrives makes
it snap to where it was heading and set off from there. Clicks, and moves
made by scripts or the control channel, don't glide. The blink is a pair
of 100 ms fades (530 ms on, 530 ms off), and a key or a click turns the
caret on from however visible it was.
These are Word for Windows' numbers (16.0.20326, 100% zoom, 144 Hz),
measured black-box: a synthetic document in a separate Word instance, its
window captured frame by frame while key and mouse messages moved the
caret. Fourteen consecutive frames match the curve to 0.003. Word for Mac
was not measured.
Nothing glides when the view changed (zoom, a resized window, scrolling,
another document), when the caret wasn't drawn the frame before, or when
a move starts or ends off screen.
File › Options › Animation › "Animate the caret (it glides and fades)"
turns it off: ui.caretAnimation {"value"} for agents, kept in ui.json, on
by default, translated in the nine catalogs. Off, and whenever egui's
animations are off (the headless harness, so ui_shot and scripted
screenshots), the caret jumps and blinks exactly as before.
