wincent / terminus

Hello @wincent — thank you for releasing this valuable plug for Vim.

AFAIK there isn't a config var for changing the cursor color. In my theme, it appears black on black. Is there something I can change at

terminus/plugin/terminus.vim

Line 29 in b474da2

let s:start_insert="\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=1\x7"

to remedy this?

Here's what it looks like for me (normal mode):

And insert mode:

You'll notice the cursor color doesn't actually change, and it's a very narrow (1-pixel?) strip in insert mode. I don't think you'd be able to change either of those aspects of it without hacking iTerm.

FWIW, I've recently cleaned up and made things more minimalist (specifically relevant here, I turn off 'cursorline' when in insert mode, and I'm not using 'cursorcolumn' any more, since I was mostly only using it to get more visible search results, and you can get those with Loupe instead), and that helps with visibility.

I don't think there's much I can do here, other than add an entry to the docs explaining the limitation and offering some possible suggestions.

I've added a tip to the TROUBLESHOOTING section to address this, so I'm going to close. Thanks for opening the issue!

Thank you
