+to follow cursor movements. Inspired by the similar feature in neovide, but
+works with terminal multiplexers and kitty windows as well. See pull:`the pull
+request <7970>` for a demonstration video. This feature is optional and can be
+turned on by the :opt:`cursor_trail` option in :file:`kitty.conf`.
