I'm working in an environment with a lot of light, and I can't see the near-black cursor on a black background, which makes it extremely difficult to jump from any part of a document to another without using the arrow keys.

I see how to change the sublime text colour scheme. I don't mind editing this, but simply viewing it gives incredibly nuanced customisability, which I do not want, I just want a clearly visible cursor (like every single other text editing application offers).

By means of editing the sublime colour preferences or other means, how can the cursor be made easily visible?

Notes:

  • Strong preference for a simple, quick and easy change (complexity = bad)
  • I did a quick control + f for 'cursor' but the preferences didn't contain that term.
  • UPDATE I'm on windows, so it may only be a windows problme. I noticed on mac the cursor is white, which makes a lot more sense given a black background (providing contrast so it's visible).
  • I looked for 'beam' but there's no mention of it :(
  • I looked for 'caret' and its value is var(orange) which makes no sense because it is black, not orange.

Any help greatly appreciated!

  • @packa sorry I edited the question at the same time you did and my edits must have overridden yours. – dss Oct 06 '21 at 05:11

I found a fast solution. Don't 'customise' the color scheme, instead select a predefined one by clicking 'Select Color Scheme':

Note: unfortunately this doesn't 'remember' the setting for next time (you'll need to do it each time you open ST). I'll add how to do that if I figure out how.
