Refer to:

For newer versions of NeoVim you should use guicursor.
For detailed config, see -
:help 'guicursor'
in NeoVim.

The default config:

set guicursor=n-v-c:block,i-ci-ve:ver25,r-cr:hor20,o:hor50
    \,a:blinkwait700-blinkoff400-blinkon250-Cursor/lCursor
    \,sm:block-blinkwait175-blinkoff150-blinkon175

For your requirements, adding

set guicursor=i-ci-ve:ver25

in init.vim should be enough.

This solved the issue for me (I was getting a weird artifact in place of a cursor in neovim). @Firestar what’s ur opinion?

:set guicursor= works
let $NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_CURSOR_SHAPE = 0 do not work
set guicursor=i-ci-ve:ver25 do not work

Any better ideas?

Does it solve the issue?

  • The wiki states:
:set guicursor=
" Workaround some broken plugins which set guicursor indiscriminately.
:autocmd OptionSet guicursor noautocmd set guicursor=

I don’t know if it’s the best solution.

My old vimrc which used for vim is:

let &t_SI.="\e[5 q"
let &t_SR.="\e[5 q"
let &t_EI.="\e[5 q"
