Changing cursor style of atom editor

Hello is there a way to change the caret style of atom just like in sublime text 3? The way sublime text 3 did it was this way in the settings JSON "caret_style": "phase"

Is there a way to do something just like this in atom editor?

Solution

  • Edit .atom/styles.less (or ~/.atom/stylesheet.css), add/update the following transition to atom-text-editor .cursor: 

    atom-text-editor .cursor {
  transition:opacity 0.5s linear;
}

    If you want to update cursor speed, you can get cursor-blink-interval package and update the following in your .atom/config.cson :

    '*':
  'cursor-blink-interval':
    cursorBlinkInterval: 1200
