Dims text outside of the current block by reducing the opacity of the text. Helps you focus. Works great with high contrast themes.
Set a keybinding for dimmer.ToggleDimmer, search Toggle Dimmer in the command palette, or use the dimmer.enabled setting.

Republish with different name VSCode Dimmer Block to separate it from non-block version
