Add cursor shape customization #20

Closed efskap closed 4 years ago

efskap commented 4 years ago

The default block cursor seems a bit "heavy" for e-ink, so we might as well expose vte_terminal_set_cursor_shape to be configured with -u <B|I|U>. Picked -u as the flag because it's one of the few letters in cursor that are still unused but maybe something else makes more sense.

Great, thanks! I'll try to put it on my Kindle to see how it looks :) It's been long time since I built kterm. I hope I still have working tool chain somewhere ;)

Tested on real device. Looks nice!

Sweet, thanks for the merge! For what it's worth, I found it easiest to just build it in an armel debian squeeze image in qemu (as you suggested in #7) after fruitlessly messing around with linaro toolchains and docker :D
