Yes!!! It’s so annoying when someone is in multiplayer with me and I’m trying to code but their username covers what I’m typing because the cursor and it’s all really frustrating lol…
Thanks. This was requested by another user in the Facebook community so wanted to log it as a potential extension idea here. Definitely think it could be possible.
Hi! This isn’t planned in the near term — we are more focused on enabling developers to add functionality to the IDE than on removing or changing native features. That said, we’re not ruling it out for the future.
a dirty workaround bookmarklet (save as “toggle multiplayer cursor flash”). I don’t really do multiplayer in the same file so I don’t know which other annoyances to fix
javascript:(()=>{if(typeof cursorRemover=="undefined"){cursorRemover=new MutationObserver(([{addedNodes:[node]}])=>{if(node?.classList?.contains("multiplayer-cursor")){node.remove()}})};if(localStorage.removingCursor){cursorRemover.disconnect();delete localStorage.removingCursor}else{cursorRemover.observe(document.querySelector("[role=tabpanel"),{childList:true,subtree:true});localStorage.removingCursor="1"}})()
