Hard to say officially, but I've been primarily using Emacs for roughly a couple of decades. Maybe my eyesight isn't what it used to be, or maybe I've just been wanting a stronger visual signal as I navigate through Emacs windows. Either way, today's the day I finally did something about it…
I asked around to see if a package already existed for this purpose. Folks shared a handful of great options:
I wanted my windows to temporarily flash when switching between them. Of these options, pulsar came closest, though highlighting the current line only.
This is Emacs, so I should be able to get the behavior I want by throwing some elisp at the problem. With that, I give you winpulse, a package to temporarily highlight focused Emacs windows.
This package is fresh out of the oven and likely has some edge cases I haven't yet considered. If you're still keen to check it out, it's available on GitHub.
Enjoying this package or my content? I'm an indie dev. Consider sponsoring to help make it sustainable.
