A collection of custom GLSL cursor shaders for the Ghostty terminal, providing animated cursor trails (warp, sweep, tail) and pulse/ripple effects. Each shader file is highly customizable via parameters at the top of the file.
Use cases
- add animated cursor trail to ghostty terminal
- get neovide-like cursor warp effect in terminal
- kitty-style cursor trail for ghostty
- ripple effect when vim mode changes
- customize terminal cursor animation color and duration
When to choose
- you use Ghostty terminal and want eye-catching cursor animations
- you want Neovide or kitty-like cursor trails without switching terminals
- you want highly customizable shader parameters
When to avoid
- you use a terminal other than Ghostty
- you prefer a minimal terminal without animations
- you need GPU-lightweight setups on weak hardware
