Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally I'd like to have particles spawn at the cursor position when typing - typing here means adding visible characters, so no particles when deleting or when adding a newline.
I've seen some VSCode extensions which are able to do this, but I haven't been able to find anything for neovim or neovide (if it exists I'd love to know).
I've tried messing around with the particles settings, but I couldn't achieve anything beyond making "seconds per frame" a more useful measurement (I had gone quite ridiculous with the numbers by this point).

Implementation considerations

Given that there's already a particles system in neovide, I imagine a lot of the work for this has been done. The work is in redirecting the particle system towards this typing-based spawning and dealing with the problems that will inevitably cause.

This would ultimately end up at having a copy of the neovide_cursor_vfx_* configs under something like neovide_typing_vfx_*. After working through the alternatives for new configs this is probably the least painful implementation.
