Placement of mouse cursor according to closest area to the gaze point #1

Closed Hoodad closed 5 years ago

Hoodad commented 5 years ago

Hello and thanks for a great plugin!

I have a feature request that would place the cursor not on the line that the gaze point is over, but rather the line that is the closest to the gaze point. I have tried to illustrate the problem with the attached screenshot.

Say I want to move the cursor to line 5 col ~90 it can be tricky to hit the exact line and the resulting location for the cursor would be drastically different if I succeeded or not.

Expected behavior would be to have some logic that moves the cursor to the line and col that is the closest to the gaze point.

Thank you for your feature request. This would definitively improve the usefulness of the caret feature.

I have tried the new implementation for a couple of days, and while it is not perfect it is a great improvement over the first implementation. Will close this issue now.
