Block Caret?

#1

Is it possible to use a block caret/cursor?

I see the “caret_style” setting, and have set it to “wide”, but hoping that there is a block caret which I think might be easier to see. Is that available?

No but, it’s been requested.

A block caret, like in terminal, would be cool. Although, we are pretty spoiled as it is.
It’s also true; you don’t get if you don’t ask :stuck_out_tongue:

Try this. It works for me ok. You can tweak it, for example you can add “caret_extra_top” and bottom

"caret_style": "wide", "wide_caret": true, "caret_extra_width": 4

Simply set it in the preferences

    // When enabled, the caret will be drawn as a rectangle, using the width
    // of the current character
    "block_caret": true,
