NOTE: When Vim exits the shape for Normal mode will remain. The shape from
before Vim started will not be restored.
+
+For Windows Terminal you can use something like this: >
+ " Note: This should be set after `set termguicolors` or `set t_Co=256`.
+ if &term =~ 'xterm' || &term == 'win32'
+ " Use DECSCUSR escape sequences
+ let &t_SI = "\e[5 q" " blink bar
+ let &t_SR = "\e[3 q" " blink underline
+ let &t_EI = "\e[1 q" " blink block
+ let &t_ti ..= "\e[1 q" " blink block
+ let &t_te ..= "\e[0 q" " default (depends on terminal, normally blink block)
+ endif
