[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't style the caret as the default in Kate (#2744)

[Giusy Digital]

> Strange that the cursor is a block, by default its a vertical bar, you havn't said what system you have and where you got Geany from or its version, which may say why its a block. [Ok, you added it while I was typing, know nothing about the Arch package, its not something this project makes]

Well, you can see [here](https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/geany/trunk/PKGBUILD) how it's installed.

```
./configure --enable-gtk3 --enable-gtkdoc-header --prefix=/usr
sed -i -e 's/ -shared / -Wl,-O1,--as-needed\0/g' libtool
make
make -C $pkgname-$pkgver DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
```

Sure. Seems like the config is not read or totally ignored (even if the status bar states _configuration file reloaded_)
