Real block cursor?
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 2 August, 2004 - 10:10
What did you do to the block cursor? It was really a block
like in terminal so it could be easily seen, and now it is
four pixel-wide lines. Not only it might be tiring to find that thing, but the lines interfere with the lines of text while a block was an unobtrusive background. Perhaps an option for a real block cursor? 4.1 segfaults on my system for some reason, both on 1.4.2 and 1.5 beta 2, so I have to look for another editor, or somewhat do 4.1 work again.

You might post this idea as a feature request. I'd also like to see this as a standard jEdit option.
How to make a block cursor
by Anonymous on Mon, 02/08/2004 - 10:55
I have browsed through the source and changed the cursor the way I like Smiling

Nice that there is the source code available.

4.2.pre15:
org/gjt/sp/jedit/textarea/TextAreaPainter.java line 1162:
drawRect --> fillRect

makes a nice block cursor Smiling

Thanks for the good work jedit developers, jEdit is my favourite graphical editor.
