Focus Dimmer

This Visual Studio Extension is inspired by limelight.vim by junegunn.

When enabled, this extension sets the color of the code as dimgray except for the block that is currently being worked on. This might help to reduce eye stress and increase productivity while coding.

  • Please note that you might have performance issues since this project is developed on a learn-on-the-go lifecycle. (what?)
  • The code quality might suck, but I'm open to contributions, advice and hi-tech knowledge that you might wanna share.

Features

You can easily toggle it on or off by using the default keyboard shortcut (ALT+L) or click on the Toggle Focus Dimmer option under the "Tools" menu.

The extension has a default configuration and this can be edited by the users as well. Check it out under "Tools" menu.
