Several people have complained on gnu.emacs.help that Emacs uses an ugly big
block cursor in their terminal emulator even after they've configured their
terminal emulator to use a more subdued cursor.
It turns out that the reason for it is that Emacs uses the termcap "vs"
command to make the cursor visible rather than "ve". My manpages describe
the two commands as follows:
cursor_normal cnorm ve make cursor appear
normal (undo
civis/cvvis)
[...]
cursor_visible cvvis vs make cursor very
visible
Does anybody know why Emacs insists on using the big-block-cursor rather
than using whatever the user has selected as default?
