Default cursor mode on vscode terminal hides text underneath.
I want to see the text when hovering over it with cursor on terminal just like it does on the main section when writing code. When I write some code on the main section (not on terminal) the cursor blinks and it shows text underneath too. This is what I want.
I enabled cursor blinking on terminal and it shows text momentarily when it blinks, but the text gets hidden by cursor blinking again.
The code I tried (settings.json):
"terminal.integrated.cursorBlinking": true,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminalCursor.background": "#fff", //white background color
"terminalCursor.foreground": "#ffffff00" //transparent effect
}
This code makes the cursor not override the text underneath when it blinks, but the block cursor effect is gone and it makes only text white.
You have made the terminal cursor invisible by setting the foreground opacity to 0 (the last 2 digits of "#ffffff00" ),
Set it to something like 80 ("#ffffff80") so it's semi-transparent.
Hope it helps.

When I use VSCode and select text with a mouse (instead of the trackpad) the view is moving up and down slightly. It is annoying. Usually, it only scrolls when the selection is going off screen. Is there a way to turn this off?
It also moves when I place the cursor on new lines.
Editor settings:
I have a peculiar issue. I have the following set in my init.vim which sets the background color of NeoVim to my terminals background color:
highlight Normal guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
highlight Folded guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
highlight Question guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
highlight WildMenu guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
highlight EndOfBuffer guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
This works fine, until I :vsplit, this causes the vsplit buffer to use the default background instead of the terminals. This also happens when I open a modal, like ripgrep. Here is a picture example, with the left being the correct background (same as the terminal) and the right vsplit using a different background color.
How can I make the vsplit use the intended background color declared in my init.vim?
Edit: Just want to clarify as well, I am using the Kitty terminal.
I avoid using the mouse for navigation as much as possible. Sometimes when I go back into VSCode via spotlight/raycast the focus will be on some element in the sidebar, or the terminal, or the vim cursor is just immediately obvious. Is there a way to enable some sort of obvious outline on the part of the UI that currently has focus so further navigation can be easier? I perused the settings but didn't see one that immediately stood out.
You can change the usual blue focus border (like you get with tabbing around the window elements) to another color, like red, with this setting in your settings.json:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"focusBorder": "#ff0000"
}
For some elements like those that border on the window edge it doesn't help much. For others it helps.
I can't find out how to disable this feature. VSCode will scroll to wherever I click in the text editor. It ends up scrolling the text as I press down to click and text gets highlighted until I release the click. This is very annoying. I have to click very very lightly in order to prevent this from happening. How do I disable this scroll-to-click feature.
I found the feature that allows the behavior to happen. It is called "Cursor Surrounding Lines".
Editor: Cursor Surrounding Lines
Controls the minimal number of visible leading and trailing lines surrounding the cursor. Known as 'scrollOff' or 'scrollOffset' in some other editors.
The value was set to 200, so I just set it to 0. Fixed the issue.
I'm using Retta color theme in eclipse. The problem is when I hover with the mouse over the warning or error symbols, it gives me a white background and I can't see a thing.
Highlighted text
Where I can change that? I've already tried going to General>Editors>Text Editors>Annotations, but changing the options there didn't solve the problem (like making Text as Underline and so on). The problem only occurs when I hover the mouse over the warning/error symbol.
First you should over the word with the highlighted background and then proceed to right click, then go to Preferences > Appearance color options
Then you should be able to adjust the colors to your liking.
