Block cursor
#1
From the "Geez-where-does-this-guy-come-up-with-this-stuff" department: I've been fiddling around with different methods of telling which side of the two editing panes are active and thought I'd try this one.

Is there a way to use a block-blinking cursor in the editor? I can't seem to find a way in the options.
thanks.

look in Accessibility Options in control panel then click display tab. you will see it there under cursor options.

Not sure about what qm code would be needed though.

Sorry couldnt be more helpful

Macro
Code:
Copy      Help
SendMessage id(2210 _hwndqm) SCI.SCI_SETCARETSTYLE 2 0
SendMessage id(2211 _hwndqm) SCI.SCI_SETCARETSTYLE 2 0
SendMessage id(2210 _hwndqm) SCI.SCI_SETCARETFORE 0x0000ff 0
SendMessage id(2211 _hwndqm) SCI.SCI_SETCARETFORE 0x0000ff 0

Or go to Options -> Editor and set some color of 'Active line'.
In next qm version you also can choose focused selection bar color.

awesome thanks!
SCI_SETCARETPERIOD can be seziure inducing if you get it to about 100ms :lol:
