@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Jun 17, 2019):

You've gotten far enough as to find the code, build the code, and find out that there's a cursorShape setting, and that's all fine and well...

The cursor shapes are filledBox, emptyBox, bar, underscore, and vintage.

@KiYugadgeter I'm sure you could figure out how to search some text files for the words that Dustin listed above, no? :)

Can I change the thickness of cursor if I set the cursorShape as "bar"?

Is there a way I can change the thickness of the cursor? I like it a bit thicker than "bar" and less than "filledBox".

I tried that. It works only with the "vintage" shape and a height of 100 is just the same as the "filledBox" shape.

Okay did you try other cursor heights? Like, 25 will be smaller than a filled box...

Yeah. I did.
But that reduces the vertical dimension. I prefer mine full-sized vertically. I wanted to change the width of the cursor.

Ah, that's where the miscommunication was. I read "thickness" as "height". My bad!

We're tracking that feature request over in #3167
