As a related question, is it possible to change the cursor depending on the mode?
This doesn't seem THAT related question and probably deserves it's own thread :) But yes, it is possible to change cursor according to mode by exploiting the various hooks provided. I tend to think this should be built into viper mode, but it's not. --- (add-hook 'viper-insert-state-hook 'viper-set-cursor t) (add-hook 'viper-emacs-state-hook 'viper-set-cursor t) (add-hook 'viper-vi-state-hook 'viper-set-cursor t) (defun viper-set-cursor () "Set the cursor for a given state" (cond ((eq viper-current-state 'emacs-state) (setq cursor-type 'bar)) ((eq viper-current-state 'vi-state) (setq cursor-type 'hollow)) ((eq viper-current-state 'viper-mark-state) (setq cursor-type 'bar)) ((eq viper-current-state 'visual-state) (setq cursor-type 'hbar)))) (defun viper-restore-cursor-type () (viper-set-cursor)) --- Tim
