Cursor is too Dark about zenburn HOT 4 CLOSED

Note the cursor is on the line just above print(...) in the attached screenshot

Hi, this is due to the terminal application. I don't have a Mac Term at hand, but I'd guess your best bet is to use escape sequences accepted by your terminal in your .vimrc. Or, configure the terminal via its GUI if there's such a setting.

Also, test first in the terminal with:
printf '\033]50;CursorShape=2\x7
and
printf '\033]50;CursorShape=0\x7

If those changed the cursor, please try something like this in .vimrc:

let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=0\x7"
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=0\x7"

If there was no change, the escape sequences above do not work.

Thanks, it doesn't look like that changed the cursor... i.e. I tried it from the command line (had to add an extra ' at the end of the printf ... (hoping that was correct).

I'm not sure why it's MacTerm specific though?
- i.e. can't I just make the cursor yellow or something via a .vimrc file?

Really appreciate the feedback!

Yes, extra ' was a good addition, I misplaced it, sorry.

Vim uses the terminal escape sequences to change things like the cursor color. If some particular code is not supported by the terminal, nothing happens.

I had a look at some Mac Term screenshots. Are you using Mac Term in Terminals/Emulation/Base Emulator "XTerm" (and xterm-256color) mode? Maybe there is some "Emulation Tweak" which can be enabled?
