Cursor color should be part of color scheme, not profile #3322

Changes

I wrote a small script to import Terminal color schemes from VSCode themes. However, there's something I think is unintended design:

The "cursorColor" setting is currently part of the profile, not the color scheme. In my opinion it doesn't make sense, because by changing the color scheme of a given profile, the background color may be similar to the cursor color. Both settings should be coupled to each other for consistency.

Additional features

It'd be amazing if you guys could implement the few remaining color customization options from VSCode's terminal to reach feature parity. They are:

  • terminal.border: The color of the border that separates split panes within the terminal.
  • terminal.selectionBackground: The selection background color of the terminal.
  • terminalCursor.background: The background color of the terminal cursor. Allows customizing the color of a character overlapped by a block cursor.
