Apply Code to File: CSS AI Animation

Apply Code to File

Apply is pressed on a code block in a chat reply. A copy lifts and arcs into an editor tab, the lines below make room, green inserted lines land, the minimap marks them and an Applied chip slides in.

Also known as: apply code animation, ai code apply to editor, cursor apply button animation, code block to file animation.

Swap the counter for a token bucket:

limiter.tsApplyApplied

export function take(b: Bucket) {
  refill(b, Date.now());
  if (b.tokens < 1) return false;
  b.tokens -= 1; return true;
}

Applied to limiter.ts

limiter.tsapi.ts

1import { now } from "./clock"; 2 3const RATE = 10;

4export function take(b: Bucket) { 5 refill(b, Date.now()); 6 if (b.tokens < 1) return false; 7 b.tokens -= 1; return true; 8}

Customizing this snippet

Color: set --aia-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
Base size: set --aia-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.
Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
