cursortype={none|block|underline|vertical}
Specifies how the cursor appears on the terminal emulator display: as a
block, an underline, a vertical line, or no cursor.
none
The cursor has no visible display characteristics.
block
The cursor is displayed as a block.
underline
The cursor is displayed as an underline (underscore) character.
vertical
The cursor is displayed as a vertical bar.
The default is “underline.”
blinkcursor={on|off}
Enables or disables blinking of the cursor. The default is “on.”
blinktext={on|off}
Enables or disables the use of blinking text.The terminal emulator can
display text that blinks on and off. This setting allows you to turn off
blinking text. When blinking text is disabled and the terminal emulator
attempts to make some text blink, the text will instead be displayed with
a bold background color. The default is “on.”
backspaceisdelete={on|off}
This option allows you to choose which code, ASCII code 8 or 127, is
generated and sent to the host when the Backspace key is pressed. On
some terminals, pressing the Backspace key sends the same code as
Ctrl-H (ASCII code 8). On other terminals, pressing the Backspace key
sends ASCII code 127 (usually known as Ctrl-? or Delete), so that the
action can be distinguished from Ctrl-H. The default is “on.”
lfimpliescr={on|off}
Specifies whether an LF (Line Feed) character includes an implicit CR
(Carriage Return) character.
Most servers send two control characters, CR and LF, to start a new line
of the screen. The CR character makes the cursor return to the beginning
of the current line of text. The LF character makes the cursor move one
line down. Some servers only send LF, and expect the terminal to move
the cursor over to the left automatically. If your server does this, you will
see a stepped effect on the screen. If this happens, try enabling this
setting.The default is “off.”
