bar-cursor

Introduction

bar-cursor is an Emacs Lisp package that changes the Emacs cursor from a block into a bar. In overwrite-mode, the cursor will change into a block.

I forked bar-cursor from the file by Joseph L. Casadonte Jr. found on his webpage.

Installation

1. Place bar-cursor.el somewhere on your Emacs load path.
2. Add (require 'bar-cursor) to your .emacs
3. Add (bar-cursor-mode 1) to your .emacs

bar-cursor.el is also available in Melpa. See the setup instructions for information on using Melpa. Then you can run M-x package-install bar-cursor to install it.
