Can we please have an option for a block cursor?

Please a big block cursor.

Excellent, thank you! I don't use vintage mode, so I've modified it a bit to work everywhere, which was very easy to do.

Thanks a million. This makes the cursor so much easier to see!

I wish it blinked, but that's kind of ridiculous functionality to ask for in a plug-in. Hopefully a block cursor style will be added to the official release in the future.

I am not a python programmer, I wonder if I could get a copy of your changes for non vintage mode?

If you add both of the following to "Settings - User", you can get it be be blinky and wide at the same time:

Code: Select all

"caret_style": "phase"

"wide_caret": true

Check the "Settings - Default" and search for "caret_style" for more options on the rate and style of blinking. The only other thing I've thought to do is alter the caret color in your preferred color scheme. I have mine set to some horrendously bright color so that it always galares out of the monitor.

I've set the thing as wide as I can, but like a few others above, I could really go for a block cursor. I'm not a programmer; I use Sublime Text (and Komodo Edit, which is uglier but very easy to configure for a non-programmer) to write and prep copy for online publication, and after a long day, that skinny little supermodel cursor is just too damned hard to find.

Thanks for building an interesting (and pretty) editor.

Just to be clear: I'd also prefer a block cursor option.

[pigmej]

I would like to have block cursor also. So +1

[karloakes]

Yes please, this would be really useful..

[DropTableUsers]

This would be great. Please add a block cursor option!

I don't know much about python. Can you share the modified code for using it everywhere to me? thx

Remove lines 22,23,24

Code: Select all

        if view.settings().get('is_widget') or not view.settings().get('command_mode'):
            view.erase_regions('SublimeBlockCursorListener')

So that It only does
