  10 Whenever the window scrolls or you switch buffer a light will shine on
  11 top of your cursor so you know where it is.
  12
  13 That’s it.

  15 ** Customizations
  16
  17 - The appearance of the beacon is configured by ~beacon-size~ and
  18   ~beacon-color~.
  19
  20 - The duration is configured by ~beacon-blink-duration~ and
  21   ~beacon-blink-delay~.
  22
  23 - To customize /when/ the beacon should blink at all, configure
  24   ~beacon-blink-when-window-scrolls~,
  25   ~beacon-blink-when-buffer-changes~, and
  26   ~beacon-blink-when-point-moves~.
  27
  28 - To prevent the beacon from blinking only on some major-modes,
  29   configure ~beacon-dont-blink-major-modes~. For specific buffers, you
  30   can do ~(setq-local beacon-mode nil)~. For even more refined
  31   control, configure ~beacon-dont-blink-predicates~
  32
  33 - Beacon can also push the mark for you whenever point moves a long
  34   distance. For this, configure ~beacon-push-mark~.
