copied!<p>Bwahahaha! I think no-one has posted a solution for the past 2 years because you are all EVIL emacs users!</p> <p>Truth be told, I'm trying out evil-mode at the moment myself and I just solved this problem on my system. Put this in your .emacs file and smoke it:</p> <pre><code>'(evil-default-cursor (quote (t "white"))) </code></pre> <p>I just opened <a href="https://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil/issue/342/evil-default-cursor-setting-should-default" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a bug</a> against the Evil repository in bitbucket.</p> <p>For myself, I found that after the 6 years or so it took to really become proficient at emacs, the multi-key chords were hard on my tendons. Evil-mode may allow me to use emacs again, which is a good thing. As <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/978588/benedict">Benedict</a> says (in the context of Functional Programming), "<a href="https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/212515/why-is-tight-coupling-between-functions-and-data-bad/212537#212537">Some evil is often necessary to get work done.</a>" It seems that may apply to Emacs as well.</p> <p>P.S. For anyone feels this answer is just <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DH0</a> or otherwise immature and inappropriate, the mostly tongue-in-cheek <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war" rel="nofollow noreferrer">feud</a> between Emacs and VI users has raged for years. Emacs has it's own <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ChurchOfEmacs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Church of Emacs</a>, VI has the video game, <a href="http://wordwarvi.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">World War VI</a>. So it is no surprise that the most successful port of VI keybindings to Emacs was named evil-mode (evil has the word VI in it). I like both editors and laud the evil developers who finally made VI keybindings work inside emacs.</p>
