Makes cursor move in circle (this is a mini-plugin for https://github.com/dkandalov/live-plugin)

plugin.groovy

import com.intellij.openapi.editor.Editor
import com.intellij.openapi.editor.LogicalPosition
import liveplugin.PluginUtil

import static java.lang.Math.*
import static liveplugin.PluginUtil.*

if (isIdeStartup) return

def r = 10
def steps = 20
def editor = currentEditorIn(project)
def startX = editor.caretModel.logicalPosition.column
def startY = editor.caretModel.logicalPosition.line
def virtualSpace = editor.settings.virtualSpace
editor.settings.virtualSpace = true

doInBackground {
	for (double a = 0; a <= 2 * PI; a += 2 * PI / steps) {
		invokeOnEDT {
			int x = clamp(-sin(a) * r * 2.5 + startX)
			int y = clamp(-cos(a) * r + startY + r)
			editor.caretModel.moveToLogicalPosition(new LogicalPosition(y, x))
		}
		Thread.sleep(30)
	}
	invokeOnEDT {
		editor.settings.virtualSpace = virtualSpace
	}
}

def clamp(n) {
	n < 0 ? 0 : n
}

This is not working on windows

Hi. Sorry just read the message 🙄
I'm pretty sure this code doesn't depend on OS.

I updated the snippet to temporarily enable virtual space in the text editor (Settings -> Editor -> General -> Allow caret placement at the end of line). Maybe that was the problem.
