[BUG] Reduce spacing before the blinking cursor.

The extra spacing before the cursor is easily confused with space. I sometimes type thinking that there is a space but there is often no space.

That is not a cursor but rather the pipe | symbol.
So the max I can do is this:
NOTE: There is no space between cursor and the letter o

But I'm thinking of moving to a background highlighted cursor which would totally eliminate the caret problems :D

Can this unicode symbol work instead of the pipe symbol |

Just saw your updated comment. Yea even this unicode character is only going to make it worse.

I guess I'll use background highlight which was the plan anyways
I'll keep this thread open :)

Even with background highlighting there will be one character space between two characters while editing. It feels like a hack than a solution. I suggest we do down the route of implementing an actual cursor while editing text.
