I would like to be able to change the cursor appearance via the extensions API. My particular use-case is to implement vim-like modal text editing, and would like to be able to style a block cursor for normal mode.

There is editor.selection which you can assign an empty selection to.

Update: vscode now has an editor.cursorStyle setting that allows a block value. (Implemented in PR #1586.) The issue as written is still valid, since (AFAICS) there's no way to control it from the extensions API.

This is now done on master, three styles (line, block and underline) can be set via TextEditor.options. Please also see https://github.com/alexandrudima/vscode-vim if you are authoring a vim emulation extension for VS Code
