Animations Extra

ui.animations enables the optional Snacks animation layer. It turns on the general animation helper and smooth scrolling, leaving the rest of the Blak UI unchanged.

Enable it

-- ~/.config/blak/lua/blak/user.lua
return {
  extras = {
    enabled = {
      "ui.animations",
    },
  },
}

You can also enable it from Neovim:

:BlakExtras enable ui.animations

What it adds

Surface	Contribution
Snacks	animate.enabled = true
Snacks	scroll.enabled = true

Configure animation speed

Snacks options live under the snacks table in user.lua. The extra supplies enabled = true; you can add the detailed options beside it:

return {
  extras = {
    enabled = { "ui.animations" },
  },
  snacks = {
    animate = {
      duration = 20,
      easing = "linear",
      fps = 120,
    },
    scroll = {
      animate = {
        duration = { step = 10, total = 200 },
        easing = "linear",
      },
      animate_repeat = {
        delay = 100,
        duration = { step = 5, total = 50 },
        easing = "linear",
      },
    },
  },
}

Disable animations temporarily

To keep the extra installed but turn off animations for a session or a buffer, use Snacks’ runtime flags:

vim.g.snacks_animate = false       -- global
vim.b.snacks_animate = false       -- current buffer
vim.g.snacks_scroll = false        -- global smooth scroll
vim.b.snacks_scroll = false        -- current buffer smooth scroll

To disable it permanently, remove "ui.animations" from extras.enabled or run :BlakExtras disable ui.animations.

Verify it

Restart Blak or reload user.lua, then scroll a long file. :BlakDoctor will also report whether Snacks loaded cleanly.
