Research direction

Start by tracing how the editor currently renders the cursor and where user options are defined. Determine how Block, Underline, and IBeam should be selected, then verify that each style is applied consistently in the terminal. Done means the three cursor types can be configured and the existing cursor behavior remains intact.
