Konsole 18.07.70 now has support for DECSCUSR escape sequences

Hello.

FWIW, Konsole master branch now has support for Set Cursor Style (DECSCUSR) escape sequences[1]; including all the cursor shapes xterm added on top of the ones supported by VT520.

The change will most likely be included in the next stable release, 18.08. This is just a heads up.

Thanks :)

@ahmadsamir Cool, thanks for the notice! But without a way to detect it, I am not sure how we can take advantage of this.

You can now add a condition to check konsole version, DECSCUSR is supported starting from konsole 18.07.70, it'll be released with the next KDE applications stable release, version 18.08.

Thanks.
