Block cursor in emacs mode
Last modified: 2018-01-11 09:51:47 UTC
I see the vim mode has a block cursor. Emacs on X usually has a block cursor too, so we should probably make emacs enable it too. In fact, maybe it would make sense to make this a generic preference so that people using the "default" key theme can get it too?

I'm not sure if you went through and saw how this was implemented. We hijacked overwrite mode and then suppress what we can after looking up a binding entry. What we really should do, is allow the cursor to be styled, and plumb that all the way into GtkTextLayout. I took a brief look at this, and it seemed non-trivial.
Ugh, yeah, better leave this as is until we have a clean implementation.
