GNU Info (emacs)Cursor DisplayDisplaying the Cursor ===================== There are a number of ways to customize the display of the cursor. `M-x hl-line-mode' enables or disables a minor mode which highlights the line containing point. On window systems, the command `M-x blink-cursor-mode' turns on or off the blinking of the cursor. (On terminals, the terminal itself blinks the cursor, and Emacs has no control over it.) You can customize the cursor's color, and whether it blinks, using the `cursor' Custom group (Note: Easy Customization). When displaying on a window system, Emacs can optionally draw the block cursor as wide as the character under the cursor--for example, if the cursor is on a tab character, it would cover the full width occupied by that tab character. To enable this feature, set the variable `x-stretch-cursor' to a non-`nil' value. Normally, the cursor in non-selected windows is shown as a hollow box. To turn off cursor display in non-selected windows, customize the option `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' to assign it a `nil' value. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
