Cursor in insert mode is forced to be vertical line. about zsh-vi-mode HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @ftpd

In fact, this plugin has provided an option for configurating the cursor style. And you can find out all the configuration details in the head of source code:

As mention above, you can set the cursor style in insert mode to a beam as below in your .zshrc file:

# Set the sursor stlye of defferent vi modes
if [[ ${TERM:0:5} == 'xterm' ]]; then
  ZVM_VI_INSERT_MODE_CURSOR=$ZVM_CURSOR_XTERM_BLOCK
else
  ZVM_VI_INSERT_MODE_CURSOR=$ZVM_CURSOR_BLOCK
fi

Thanks and regards

Hi @ftpd

The latest commit ( f9b508d ) has provided some options for users to custom the cursor style for better terminal compatibility.

1. You can set your cursor style for different vi mode:

# ZVM_NORMAL_MODE_CURSOR:
# the prompt cursor in normal mode
#
# ZVM_INSERT_MODE_CURSOR:
# the prompt cursor in insert mode
#
# ZVM_VISUAL_MODE_CURSOR:
# the prompt cursor in visual mode
#
# ZVM_VISUAL_LINE_MODE_CURSOR:
# the prompt cursor in visual line mode

2. And the below cursor styles are supported:

ZVM_CURSOR_BLOCK
ZVM_CURSOR_UNDERLINE
ZVM_CURSOR_BEAM
ZVM_CURSOR_BLINKING_BLOCK
ZVM_CURSOR_BLINKING_UNDERLINE
ZVM_CURSOR_BLINKING_BEAM

3. Custom your cursor style is easy as below:

ZVM_INSERT_MODE_CURSOR=$ZVM_CURSOR_BLOCK
ZVM_NORMAL_MODE_CURSOR=$ZVM_CURSOR_BLINKING_UNDERLINE

Thanks - I haven't seen it in Readme, so I somehow thought it's not supported. I should take a look into code ;-)

I'm closing this issue as fixed now.
