CodeSpotlight makes selected code visually stand out in IntelliJ IDEA with customizable animated effects. Built for coding YouTubers, tutors, instructors, course creators, livestreamers, technical presenters, and anyone who wants their code to be impossible to miss.
Do you plan to add a way to trigger highlights with a keyboard shortcut during a live demo?
@yangliu44 Absolutely! A keyboard shortcut to quickly trigger or toggle the highlight during live demos is a great idea. It would make switching focus much smoother while presenting. I’ll look at adding this in a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you control how fast the animation runs or choose from different animation styles?
@jharkhandi_chora1 Yes! You can adjust the animation speed and choose from different styles, including Traveling Border, Pulse, Breathing Glow, and Static Glow. Pro also adds advanced styles like Energy Sweep, Aurora, and Orbit. ⚡✨
Does CodeSpotlight work smoothly when recording the IDE with tools like OBS?
@kathrine_rolce Yes! CodeSpotlight is designed to work smoothly while recording IntelliJ IDEA with tools like OBS. The animated selection appears directly in the IDE, so it can be captured naturally in your screen recording. It’s especially useful for coding tutorials, live demos, and technical presentations.
