Add cursor style configuration for input field
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 2, 2026 by ericfrl Closed Jan 6, 2026
Feature Request
Allow users to configure the cursor style in Claude Code's input field.
Current Behavior
The input field cursor is a yellow, non-blinking box that ignores terminal cursor settings (e.g., Alacritty's cursor.style).
Desired Behavior
Add a setting to configure:
- Cursor shape: Block, Beam (I-beam), Underline
- Cursor color: Custom color or inherit from terminal
- Blinking: On/Off
Example Configuration
{
"cursor": {
"shape": "beam",
"color": "#FFFFFF",
"blinking": true
}
}
Rationale
Users configure their terminal cursor preferences for consistency and accessibility. Claude Code's input field should respect these preferences or provide its own configuration options.
