README

        
show trails while moving cursor, within a window or across windows

## design choices, limits

* works when cursor moving within one single window

* works when cursor moving across windows, yet there would be break points

* since nvim_buf_set_extmark doesnt supports per-window-based mark, fn.matchadd* must be used

* no fullscreen floatwin + winblend, because i dont use &termguicolor

* no massive ephemeral floatwins, no pre-alloc floatwins

* should be ok with multi-bytes strings

* not supposed to work well with , which may be 2/4/8-width

## status

* just works, imperfectly

* yet many untested edge cases: signcolumn, numbercolumn, tabline, window-statusline, window-border, winbar ...

* since it requires a patched vim.fn.getmousepos, it's not supposed to be used publicly

## credits

* i shamelessly stole the basis impl from [vim-ranbow-trails](https://github.com/sedm0784/vim-rainbow-trails)
