When I switch to terminal mode in vim, it changes the cursor shape to block and doesn't restore it after I quit the terminal. This is problematic when you are using other cursor shapes like ibeam a.k.a vertical bar etc.

I tried changing it in my shell as per the below comment; it works for :terminal but not for :terminal tig.

:help terminal has a section called terminal-cursor-style, but I am not able sure what to do with that information.

Is it possible to inherit the terminal emulator's cursor shape inside vim -- if not, can I at-least configure it to us my cursor style?

When I switch to terminal mode, vim changes the cursor shape to block automatically. It is retained even after quiting the terminal as well. This causes problem when you using something like an ibeam cursor.

Is it possible to inherit the terminal emulators cursor shape inside vim too? If not, can I atleast configure it to use ibeam?
