Hi, I am running OpenSuSE 15.3 and 15.4 with the KDE/Plasma desktop.

I would like to just get rid of the I bar cursor and use the regular arrow cursor instead. I also don't like the underline cursor, but at least I can make it blink, which helps.
There are some others that can be installed with Yast. Also, that bar cursor is used when in a text box, such as with email or word processor, where it better shows the position than an arrow cursor.
