I was wondering, would any of you prefer sometimes using square/block carets instead of the vertical bar? I work on 2 monitors, reading on 1st, writing on 2nd. Often I have issues to find the location of the caret/cursor.
This is super-upsetting if you are writing your thesis (yes I use LaTeX), however, instead of typing the great idea/phrase you end up looking for a caret/cursor.
One quick way to find the cursor is to just hold Shift and hit ↑ or ↓ a couple of times. That will highlight entire lines and make the location pretty obvious.
There are also TextMate-only things like ⌃⌥P. You could probably make a macro that selects and deselects something, causing it to flash.
But really, if you’re about to type something it seems like “Where do I want the cursor?” matters more than “Where is it now?”.
