Description
Right now it looks like we've got no choice but to use the "block" cursor.
It would be pretty sweet if we could have the option to set the cursor style to IBeam or Underline.
It would be even sweeter if the default could automatically be detected from the current terminal. I have no idea if that's possible though!
