It would be nice if gtk supported block cursors a la terminal.

block cursor support
Comment 2 danny.milo 2006-06-24 14:07:57 UTC 
patch adds style property "block-cursor" to gtk textview and gtk entry, off by default.
Comment 3 danny.milo 2006-06-24 14:34:03 UTC 
patch applies to current (well, a few minutes ago anyway) cvs, btw
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2006-06-24 15:10:06 UTC 
I don't think a block cursor makes sense as a style property.  
I'd rather see a block cursor be used to indicate overwrite mode.
Comment 5 danny.milo 2006-06-24 22:31:13 UTC 
well, that could work, too. 

However, being the traditionalist that I am, I _do_ use the block cursor everywhere, also in "insert" mode...

I guess that isn't the usual usecase though :)

Block cursor support has meanwhile been added.
