Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/6151

State: closed
Merged: No


Summary of the Pull Request

The issue here is that we draw the cursor on top of the text. This spec introduces a new setting that lets us:

  • draw the cursor on top of the text
  • draw the cursor underneath the text
  • draw the cursor underneath the text, and provide a specific color for the text drawn on top of the cursor.
  • draw the cursor underneath the text, and use the text background color as the foreground for the text drawn on top of the cursor.
