hello
I notice there's an accessibility feature for custom, supposedly thicker
caret (cursor), but it doesn't make the caret appreciably thicker, maybe
one or two pixel lines. Is there a way to get a block caret so the caret
is the size of a (monospace) character?
also, for some reason, pressing Insert has no effect whatsoever in any of
the editors. caret does not change, nor the insert mode.

I'm not sure which editor it's using, but it's the same whether I'm
editing a .css, html, .js, or .erb / .rb (ruby/rails) file.
I'm using Aptana studio (RadRails). Its eclipse version is 3.2. I tried
updating to eclipse 3.4 by pointing it to
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/staging/
but it complained about missing com.ibm.icu. I googled and found
com.ibm.icu.source_3.6.1.v20070417.zip
but couldn't figure out how to install it. I selected new archived site
and pointed Eclipse to it but it said "does not contain an update site".
I guess I could install 3.4 standalone then install RadRails as a plugin,
but I did that before and couldn't do it and gave up and installed Aptana
which has RadRails built-in. Arggh, it shouldn't be this hard.
