Cursor Colour #28181

Closed j-campbell closed 7 years ago

j-campbell commented 7 years ago

It would be great if I could change the colour of the cursor in settings.json.

All my other programs allow me to do this but in vscode I have trouble telling which pane is active when having 2 editors and a terminal displayed because all the cursors are the same colour.

Being able to set the active cursor colour would help alleviate the other UX issues regarding active panel by drawing attention to the active cursor.

I can add screen shots of what other editors and terminals do if that helps.

Otherwise loving VS Code :)

It is possible to configure cursor foreground in the editor, with the following setting:

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editorCursor.foreground": "#ff0000"
    }

Is there a way to do this so the it works for the integrated terminal as well?

Where is the best place to find a reference on this kinda of stuff?
