[Feature]: Option or plugin to use a different cursor

[WestleyR]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I would like to be able to specify a different cursor type, like I-beam, block etc...

Right now, I use a micro wrapper to do this:

$ type micro
micro is a function
micro () 
{ 
    echo -ne '\e[5 q';
    ${HOME}/.local/share/cmd/micro "$@";
    echo -ne '\e[0 q'
}

I prefer the I-beam cursor for micro editor.

I second this.

What's worse, and perhaps worthy of opening a more specific issue as a "bug" rather than enhancement, is that it doesn't restore the cursor when micro exits. I personally use a "beam" style in my terminal, but if I open micro to edit a file, and then close it, the "block" style persists in my terminal.
