[idea] Solid cursor.

[trusktr]

Can you add an option to change the block cursor from outlined to solid? A good reason to have a solid cursor is because in some terminals an outline cursor indicates the window isn't in focus.

+1 came here looking for a config.cson option for this...

Editing src\nvim.css seems to at least to get us partially there...

#nvas-cursor {
  position: absolute;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border: 1px solid;
  background-color: rgba(244,244,244,0.3);
}

@raghur Oh wow, I forgot it's just web tech. That was easy!

Also, this fixes insert mode cursor

.insert-mode #nvas-cursor {
  border: 0;
  border-left: 2px solid;
  background-color: transparent;
}

I like the transparent cursor:

#nvas-cursor {
  position: absolute;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}

:smile:

Strictly speaking, we should probably inverse the fg/bg color under a solid cursor, yet currently we do not store the colors of each character. Semi-transparent cursor is a nice hack, I'm glad that it works for you.

[trusktr]

@coolwanglu Yeah, having the cursor color the inverse of the letter would be neat! Another neat hack would be to fill in the last empty space in the visual selection (you know how vim leaves the background of the character that the cursor is on empty when in VISUAL mode?)
