## What's LangCursor?
Designed specially **for developers who work in non-English languages 🌍**. <br/>

- **⌨️ Vim-Friendly:** Supports Vim's insert mode.

## Supported Environments
- Supported OS: Windows, macOS
- Not using any third-party Input Method editor(IME), opposed to the default OS input methods

## How to Use
Once installed, LangCursor will be automatically executed when you open your project in IDE.

## Customization
You can customize the color of the cursor for non-English input methods.

1. Go to `Settings` > `Tools` > `LangCursor`.
2. Choose your preferred color for the non-English input method.
