Message-ID: <E1Epohd-0004ps-3j@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87lkydexxv.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (message from Stefan Monnier on Thu, 22 Dec 2005 14:41:12 -0500)

    Does anybody know why Emacs insists on using the big-block-cursor rather
    than using whatever the user has selected as default?

vs was defined specifically to be used by full-screen editors to make
the cursor more visible.

The default cursor is for sequential input.  With sequential input,
you know which line to look in, so it is easier to see the cursor;
thus, it does not need extra visibility.
