Personally, I find =E2=80=9Cthat=E2=80=9D sentences somewhat harder to read /in general./ I still hope someone with English skills better than mine could re-check these cases and apply the changes suggested where sensible. > So please submit a patch without those parts.

Why not keep both? The former recipe seems to predate the introduction of visible-cursor. I see no reason to keep it now that there=E2=80=99s an easy way to solve the issue without having to modify terminfo or restart Emacs, etc. I presume that the more experienced users will be able to gather all what necessary for a terminfo-based solution from the =E2=80=9Cuse software cursor=E2=80=9D recipe just above = the one at hand. --=20 FSF associate member #7257 http://boycottsystemd.org/ =E2=80=A6 3013 B6A0= 230E 334A
