Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2021-01-27 17:07:40 UTC 
With non-blinking cursor (QGuiApplication::styleHints()->cursorFlashTime() == 0), e.g. by  entry "[KDE] CursorBlinkRate=0" in kdeglobals for the Plasma QPA, the shadow cursor marking the same spot in the non-input receiving half (char or values) is only hard to distinguish (1 pixel line width vs. 2 pixel line width) from the active cursor.

Arek Guzinski proposals from bug 336607 comment #13:
> I gave the insertion mode problem some consideration, and can think of 2

> One would be to draw a 2 pixel in fg-color, 2 pixel bg-color alternating
> line around the block (I'll attach a mockup).
> The other might be to highlight the line in the active subview (like the
> active line in kate).
