How sadsnake1/cursor-smith works

Cursor-Smith is an Obsidian plugin that replaces and animates the caret. Its main user-to-result path is enabling/configuring the plugin, tracking caret positions in editors and other editable surfaces, then drawing the configured cursor and effects on a canvas. Settings also support presets, share codes, Vim-specific looks, and commands; effect modules cover the README’s distinct visual features. The sampled code confirms the plugin/settings and several internal dependencies, but does not expose all runtime wiring, so uncertain call edges are omitted.
