Does changing the cursor color add any extra useful visual clue? Yes, it does for me. I often have two almost identical buffers open, and switch from one to the other. But I want one of them to be read-only, and the visual clue is helpful (not to prevent trying to write into the read-only one, but to speed switching among them). I have in fact this in my .emacs: (setq cua-normal-cursor-color '(box . "white") cua-overwrite-cursor-color '(hollow . "red") cua-read-only-cursor-color '(hollow . "yellow")) Juanma
