  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.125]

  • What you're doing and what's happening / What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    I'm using xterm-256color.
    I had been tried to change the shape of my vim cursor. I tried lots of different configuration for cursor shape (to be block) but none of them works as I put them in my .vimrc.

For example I tried some of these:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Configuring_the_cursor

In the terminal I was able to change the shape of cursor to block by selecting 'large' in property as @zadjii-msft suggested in #1253. But the same trick won't work for vim. Well.... it will work at the moment I set it to 'large'. But it will reset back to underscore every time I open another file.

As this:

Anyone got a good approach on this cursor configuration?
