Re: Quick Vim question

In all likelihood this is an issue with the Terminal software you are using. If you are using gvim.exe then as installed by the Windows binaries from vim.org, the default cursor should be a block cursor. If you are using another Terminal you need to look at the settings for that Terminal.

In Windows 11, the new WindowsTerminalPreview.exe or "wt.exe" will let you change the cursor in the settings. Use "Ctrl-," (that's control-comma) to open the settings. Then go to "Profiles->Default->Cursor Shape" and select the "filled box" cursor. Save your changes and see if that helps.

Hi, 

I've used the Vi editor on Unix for over 30 years and had to recently switched my software to Windows so I am now using Vim on my c:drive.  I'm confused about how to change settings.  When I do a search all the items are highlighted but there is no indicator for which word in the search I am currently on. How do make Vim indicate which search word I'm currently on?
