How can I change cursor color in VSCode?

Is there a way to change the cursor colour in the Visual Studio Code editor window?

I am slightly colour blind, so I would like to change it from red to something else (yellow maybe) to improve accessibility and make it easier for me to read.

How do I change my custom cursor color?

Make your mouse more visible by changing the color and size of the mouse pointer. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Ease of Access > Cursor & pointer , and choose the options that work best for you.

How do I change the cursor style in Visual Studio?

For those on a Mac (running Windows+Visual Studio with either VMWare Fusion or Parallels, for example), press the 0 (zero) key in the Mac keyboard number pad. For me, this translates to the Insert key which changed the fat (overwrite) cursor back to the normal (insert) cursor.

Try adding this to your global preferences file:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {     "editorCursor.foreground": "#ffff00",     "terminalCursor.foreground": "#ffff00" } 

Also worth noting that if you're colourblind, there are probably some colourblind-friendly themes for vscode out there, though I can't say I have looked for them myself.
