Cursor type in Emacs

What do I put in my .emacs file to change the cursor type for all frames to box?

Solution

  • Before Emacs 23.2, you should do :

    (setq default-cursor-type 'box)

    Be careful, default-cursor-type is a variable that is obsolete since Emacs 23.2. You should use cursor-type variable instead :

    (set-default 'cursor-type 'box)
