Bug Description ANSI cursor shape support in vim mode.

When editorMode is set to vim, I would like the claude code to emit cursor shape escape sequences when switching between insert and command modes.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: Apple_Terminal
  • Version: 2.1.119
  • Feedback ID: a45a9e9d-ba42-4cdd-9349-566a53467885

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing ANSI cursor shape support in vim mode may require modifying the editor's configuration or terminal settings to emit cursor shape escape sequences when switching between insert and command modes.

Guidance

  • Review the terminal emulator's documentation (Apple Terminal) to see if it supports ANSI cursor shape escape sequences and how to enable them.
  • Check the editor's configuration options for vim mode to determine if there are any settings related to cursor shape or ANSI escape sequences that can be adjusted.
  • Investigate if there are any existing plugins or scripts for the editor that provide ANSI cursor shape support in vim mode.
  • Test the editor in a different terminal emulator to see if the issue is specific to Apple Terminal.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific capabilities of the Apple Terminal and the editor's implementation of vim mode.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the editor's configuration or use a plugin/script to enable ANSI cursor shape support in vim mode, as the issue seems to be related to the editor's behavior rather than a version-specific bug.
