Text editors: Notepad++: how to retrieve the cursor
Self-tutoring about Notepad++: the tutor mentions a way to restore the cursor.
Once or twice, while using Notepad++, I’ve had the cursor disappear. Last time, I retrieved it by going Settings→Preferences→Editing→Caret Settings, then setting Width to Block.
