~~# MWE~~
1. Add `bindkey -v` to your `~/.zshrc`.
2. Invoke python interpreter: `python`.
~~3. Type something into the prompt without hitting `ENT`: `this = "this" + "that"`.~~
~~4. Press `ESC` and try any vim bindings successively: `bb`.~~
# Problem
~~The behavior is not consistent. Sometimes the cursor highlighting does not match the mode (see Notes for code used), sometimes I have to press `ESC` before each vim key entry.~~
# Notes
~~Using Arch Linux, st terminal, zsh, and python 3.10.9.~~
I am using the following code in my `~/.zshrc` to change the cursor to indicate mode:
```sh
# change cursor shape for different vi modes
cursor_mode() {
# See https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/manual/4/en/usage/tips/vim.html for cursor shapes
cursor_block='\e[2 q'
cursor_beam='\e[6 q'
function zle-keymap-select {
if [[ ${KEYMAP} == vicmd ]] ||
[[ $1 = 'block' ]]; then
echo -ne $cursor_block
elif [[ ${KEYMAP} == main ]] ||
[[ ${KEYMAP} == viins ]] ||
[[ ${KEYMAP} = '' ]] ||
[[ $1 = 'beam' ]]; then
echo -ne $cursor_beam
fi
}
zle-line-init() {
echo -ne $cursor_beam
}
zle -N zle-keymap-select
zle -N zle-line-init
}
cursor_mode
```
