Show-parens-mode highlights the left parens when the cursor is resting on it in normal mode, but the right parens when the cursor is after it. This functionality makes sense in insert mode, but less in normal mode. I'd like to configure my emacs config to fix that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Disclaimer: I am 1 week new to emacs. |

Awesome, many thanks. Actually, I've since noticed that the inconsistency applies all over. I'd really just like to make the block display one character left of the cursor while using non-insert modes. How would that be done? Also, off-topic, but the ascii-art on your website is adorable. |

That seems much harder to accomplish, since I assume all the cursor display logic is done in C rather than elisp. You probably just need to get used to remembering that your cursor is to the left of your block, and that the cursor doesn't change at all when you switch modes. People coming from vim (including me ~5-6 years ago) are often confused about that vim quirk; vim changes the cursor behavior based on the cursor display (when block, the cursor is on a character rather than in between a character), I think one could argue that is more inconsistent. Also, thanks! Interesting reading: https://www.dr-qubit.org/Evil_cursor_model.html Meow avoids all this complexity and doesn't hack around emacs' cursor model. Although, there is still |
