Research direction

Start by reviewing Shepherd.js’s current tour-step transition behavior and the linked Driver.js homepage demo. Define the expected smooth movement between highlighted steps and clear acceptance criteria for matching that behavior; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm moving over from Driver.js, which features smooth animated transitions between steps.

If you check out the demo on their homepage, you'll see how each highlight gracefully shifts and moves across the page with a nice animation effect.

In contrast, the current Shepherd.js tour steps appear abruptly, without transitions.

Is it possible to implement similar smooth animated transitions in Shepherd.js, like those in Driver.js?
