Is there a way to turn off Hidden Selection Indicator?

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

First of all, thank you so much for making this plugin, I love Kakoune, and being able to have a Kakoune-like experience in VSCode is awesome!

For the hidden selection indicator, this feature is good but I tend to use pageUp/pageDown a lot and sometimes the indicator leaves some trace on the screen for a while, making the scrolling experience not smooth, and I rarely need it for now.

I tried to turn it off by setting hiddenSelectionsIndicatorsDecoration to null or remove it, but nothing works:

"": {
  "hiddenSelectionsIndicatorsDecoration": null
}

Is this the right way to turn it off?

There was also an issue within Dance where the indicator couldn’t be disabled. This was fixed in 08199c526eda61ab15cc605beb3cabc4c17e644e.

While waiting for https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/126972 to get fixed, you can specify this for each mode individually:

"dance.modes": {
  "normal": {
    "hiddenSelectionsIndicatorsDecoration": {}
  },
  "insert": {
    "hiddenSelectionsIndicatorsDecoration": {}
  },
}

Note that {} is used rather than null. In Dance modes configuration, null means “inherit from the "" mode”, so we need another value to represent “disable this.”

Update: with f22f60363ea7e3714e328f45047402ebd26ee319, you can write

"dance.modes": {
    "": {
        "hiddenSelectionsIndicatorsDecoration": {
            "after": {
                "color": "$list.warningForeground",
                "fontStyle": "inherit; margin-right: 100vw",
            },
            "isWholeLine": false,
        },
    },
},

It uses a hack I first saw in vscode-power-mode to add arbitrary style to decorations.
