Customize text input cursor icon

[tmoux]

Is there a way to customize the text input cursor icon (the little teardrop cursor)? It seems like we can change the color using the CURSOR_COLOR theme variable, but I don't see how to change the icon itself. I would like to change it to a standard line cursor.

It's not possible, currently. Although it should not be very difficult to implement.

You can just change the fontawsome symbol "tint" here to any other symbol you like:

bogue/lib/b_text_input.ml

Line 66 in 7f20e1f

cursor_char = Theme.fa_symbol "tint";

See https://lab.artlung.com/font-awesome-sample/

For instance, "i-cursor"
(but this will require adjusting the vertical offset I suppose)

Ok, thanks
