With 3.2 update caret in normal mode is no longer visible about six HOT 5 OPEN

Also I am not sure if I had this but I wish I could make the cursor underline when in normal mode like I can in vim with this setting:

set guicursor=n-v-c:hor20,i-ci:ver20 " Make cursor block in insert mode and underline in normal mode

normal mode

insert mode

The cursor appearance can only be controlled via ST native settings and themes. Six doesn't really do anything about it... I'll take a look, but I don't think there's much Six can do.

I did some tests with the color schemes available by Sublime Text:

None in this case means that the cursor is not visible (not even as a faint shade).

As reported this started happening with Sublime 3.2 and makes normal mode more or less a guessing game of where the cursor currently might be.

@PatTheMav Thanks for that! Isn't this something that could be reported to the maintainers of the color schemes? (Even though I seem to remember that the new block caret appearance is controlled via theme settings?)

@guillermooo Yeah it looks like affected themes have their block-caret colour not set, so it falls back to the line-Highlight colour, hence the appearance of invisibility.

It’s weird how this new feature in ST3 doesn’t seem to have been fully tested with all built-in themes, but those are the cards we’ve been dealt.
