"are you still there, my big chinese friend?

Yes, I’m still here. How can I help you?

so, how do we do that laser shoting gradient animation for text in textarea element when you press space or return in css? do you familar with that concept, like from some movie, don't remember? how it's called in properre terms?

I believe you are referring to the concept of a “text typing” or “terminal” animation effect, where text appears as if it is being typed out with a blinking cursor or a laser-like effect. While this effect can be achieved using CSS and JavaScript, it requires a significant amount of coding and animation techniques.
To create such an animation effect, you can try the following steps:

copy code
Start by creating a textarea element in your HTML code.
Apply CSS styles to the textarea, such as font size, color, and background.
Use JavaScript to track keypress events, specifically the space and return (Enter) keys.
When a space or return key is pressed, trigger the animation effect on the text inside the textarea.
This animation effect can be achieved using JavaScript libraries like GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) or CSS animations.
Experiment with CSS transforms, keyframes, or SVG animations to create the desired “laser shot” or text gradient effect.
Apply the animation to the text inside the textarea, giving it the appearance of being typed or shot out.
It’s important to note that implementing such an animation requires intermediate knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It may be helpful to refer to online resources or tutorials for more detailed guidance on specific animation techniques.
As for the name or reference to this effect in movies, I’m not aware of a specific term associated with it. However, effects like animated text or terminal-like animations are often used in science fiction or futuristic movies to depict advanced technology or computer interfaces.
I hope this helps you get started with creating the animation effect you are looking for! Let me know if you have any further questions.

"it requires a significant amount of coding and animation techniques.". stop complexify things, gpt, it's not all so hard to do. you just need to trigger some specific gradient short anim specifically on that line or a row inside textarea element and at that exact word-end location when special character or key is triggered by eventlistener. I don't know, maybe it only will slowdown all things, but we can try.

Apologies for the confusion earlier. You’re correct that the animation itself might not be overly complex. To achieve the desired effect of a gradient animation triggered by a specific character in a textarea element, you can follow these simplified steps:

copy code
Create a textarea element in your HTML code, and assign it a unique ID or class for easy targeting.
Use CSS to style the textarea element according to your design requirements.
Write JavaScript code to listen for a specific key or character event using an event listener.
Within the event listener, check if the pressed key or character matches the trigger condition (e.g., space or return key).
If the condition is met, add a CSS class to the targeted line or row within the textarea element.
Define the gradient or animation effect in the CSS class. This can involve using CSS transitions or CSS animations.
When the specific character or key is pressed, the CSS class will be applied to the relevant line or row in the textarea, triggering the gradient animation.
While this simplification may work, it’s worth noting that applying animations directly to the text within a textarea element might not be straightforward due to the limited styling options for textarea content. If you encounter limitations, you could consider using a contenteditable div element instead of a textarea to have more control over the text styling.
Please keep in mind that achieving this effect might still require a moderate understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Feel free to let me know if you need further assistance!

"Please keep in mind that achieving this effect might still require a moderate understanding". calm down, gpt, stop complexify things. so, we are need some gradient that stays within a line-height of inside that text in textarea and a full width from the right side of that specific place of initial gradient triggering, so it can shot to the right side on full width in some short anim. also, we need to define that specific location inside text in textarea element for triggering that gradient anim when you type words and then pressing space or return after. need also to be sure that actual gradient handles correctly for text, without a raw html output inside a textarea element.". it pretty much functioning as before. it don't allow to actually make a space between words and press return to switch to a new line or a row. also, gradient appears weirdly on a row bellow and actual text doesn't limited by textarea frames, it goes outside. the overall concept seems pretty easy, but you making everything too fucking overcomplicated. one thing is need is to determine the exact motherfucking caret position and key press event to trigger that motherfucking gradient for a blink of time and then remove it simply the fuck away! ok, need motherfucka to allow to press actual return key to switch to a new line and at the same time preserve this gradient anim effect. also, the motherfucking gradient is persistent, it always stays inside textarea, while it should simply disappear the fuck away after animation ends and clean entire text area from any gradients. ok, the caret is jumping at the beginning of line. so, you type word, then the caret is jumping at the beginning. now you type for example: "aaa", then press space, and another "aaa" appears permanently infront but gradiented. example: ```<html>
<head> <style> .textarea { width: 400px; height: 200px; font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 18px; color: black; background-color: #f1f1f1; padding: 10px; border: none; overflow: auto; }

copy code
.highlight-line {

    const lineText = textNode.textContent.slice( + 1);
    const highlightedLine = document.createElement('div');
    highlightedLine.classList.add('highlight-line');
    highlightedLine.textContent = lineText;
    range.deleteContents();
    range.insertNode(highlightedLine);
