How to make the vim cursor in the shell have different shapes in different states

Question

For example, when inserting, "|" is displayed, and when in command mode, a square is displayed?
In macvim, the shape will be changed by default, but not in the shell. How to configure it?

Answer 1

You can use guicursor to set the cursor of Gvim. For example, if you only set the cursor to '|' in insert mode, you can use the following configuration:

set guicursor=i:ver1

The reason why the cursor shape will definitely not change in the shell is because the cursor in the shell is the setting of the shell (gnome-terminal). The reason why cursor is set to guicursor means that this setting is only for gvim (g in gvim means gui)

Answer 2

if $TERM_PROGRAM =~ "iTerm"
let &t_SI = "\]50;CursorShape=1\x7"
let &t_EI = "\]50;CursorShape=0\x7"
endif
