Any way to swap the look of the cursor between insert mode, and normal mode?

[chookity-pokk]

I am starting to use Meow for, and am struggling with the way the cursor looks in normal mode, and confusing that for being insert mode, and vice versa. Is there any way to swap the look of the cursors?

Perhaps try setting these vars before or right after you (require 'meow)?

It seems they haven't been documented in detail at the moment.

meow/meow-var.el

Lines 326 to 332 in 6083e74

	(defvar meow-cursor-type-default 'box)
	(defvar meow-cursor-type-normal 'box)
	(defvar meow-cursor-type-motion 'box)
	(defvar meow-cursor-type-beacon 'box)
	(defvar meow-cursor-type-region-cursor '(bar . 2))
	(defvar meow-cursor-type-insert '(bar . 2))
	(defvar meow-cursor-type-keypad 'hollow)

So I tried putting that in my config just before (require 'meow) and it didn't change anything, so I went and changed the values in meow-var.el, and that also didn't change anything. Essentially what I did was just swap out the 'box for '(bar . 2), and vice versa.

(setq meow-cursor-type-insert 'hbar)

Try this, put it anywhere you want.

Thank you! I set the normal cursor type to 'hbar, and the insert cursor to 'box
