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.
