I like CRT's block cursor but there are moments where I'd want a vertical bar cursor. Other terminal emulators support this, e.g., tilix or the default gnome / Ubuntu terminal.
Take (neo-)vim for instance. Switching to insert mode changes the cursor to a vertical bar which is nice for inserting text as you have a more precise indication where you will be adding text, similar to most GUI text editors.
As seen here in insert mode, there is a vertical bar cursor:
whereas in normal mode, there is a block cursor:
However, in CRT the cursor does not change when switching to insert mode.
Again, insert mode, but this time with a block cursor:
And normal mode with the expected block cursor:
