[enhancement] Resetting the cursor #46

Open nthnd opened 2 years ago

nthnd commented 2 years ago

After exiting toipe, the cursor will change into cursor::SteadyBlock and I find myself having to run reset in my terminal. It would be nice if the cursor could return to its original state after exiting toipe.

That is quite annoying indeed. I wanted a way to find out what cursor the user had before starting toipe and reset to that. Unfortunately that's not possible: https://github.com/Samyak2/toipe/pull/39#issue-1282645896

As a workaround, you could use an alias that runs reset after exiting toipe: alias toipe="toipe && reset" and add it to your shell configuration.

I still believe that toipe should change the user's cursor to a blinking bar as that (IMO) provides the best experience for this app. Although, I'm open to exposing an option that lets the user select what type of cursor they want.

I agree, doing it that way is much better
