Smooth Caret – Smooth Typing Cursor for Any Site

Smooth typing on any website: your text cursor glides as you type, like in Microsoft Word. Set its speed, easing and color.

Smooth Caret brings smooth typing to every website. Your text cursor glides to each new spot as you type, click or use the arrow keys, the way it does in Microsoft Word, instead of jumping there. WORKS WHEREVER YOU TYPE • Search boxes, forms and comment fields • Textareas, long wrapped text included • Rich editors: email, chat, notes and writing apps • Google Docs, with the same glide, width and color settings • Fields inside iframes, shadow DOM and dialogs MAKE IT YOURS Open the toolbar popup and try every change live in its test field: • Glide: how long the caret takes to arrive, from instant to slow and floaty • Easing: Ease Out, Ease In & Out, Spring or Linear • Width: 1 to 6 pixels • Color: any color and opacity, an eyedropper, or Match text to keep each site's own color • Rainbow: cycles through the hues at the speed you pick • Blink on or off • Turn it off on one site, or everywhere, with a single switch STAYS OUT OF THE WAY • It asks the browser exactly where you're typing, so it lines up perfectly, even with unusual padding, scaled elements, scrolling and wrapped lines. • Scrolling carries the cursor with the text. Only real movement glides. • Code editors draw their own cursor, so it leaves those alone. PRIVATE Smooth Caret runs entirely in your browser. It collects nothing and sends nothing: no accounts, no analytics, no network requests. The only thing it stores is your settings. In password fields it measures placeholder dots instead of your password. Open source: https://github.com/dooovid/smooth-caret
