and if it is not, can you set it to line. We just enabled this feature this release, so that you can use line-thin, block-outline, underline, underline-thin if you want. We used to just automatically set it to line but some users wanted to use other cursors for insert mode.

Ok, "editor.cursorStyle": "line", is exactly what I wanted.

Thank you!
