Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-05-27 17:23:22 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Currently there is only one cursor -- | (black).

It would be useful to be able to configure this (for both modes, insert and overwrite):
* shape: |, _, # (rectangle, filled)
* blinking/non-blinking
* color+transparency
* if blinking -- alternate color+transparency
* if blinking -- speed

Kdelibs: because it is important for every edit-box, memo, etc.

By "cursor", I think you mean "caret"? The "caret" is the little indicator that shows where you are typing, which can also be called "cursor", except that "cursor" can also mean mouse cursor. Please clarify so I can make the bug description unambiguous :-).
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-05-27 18:41:20 UTC 
Yes, caret, sorry for not using this term.
Comment 3 Matthew Woehlke 2008-05-27 20:30:24 UTC 
No worries, it's a fairly obscure (and definitely technical ;-)) term.

I'll leave "text cursor" in the description as a reminder for people not familiar with the term and to help with bug searches.

Thanks for the clarification.
