Sometimes you may find yourself working on a very large text file or document and may notice that you are spending a long time trying to find the position of your text cursor, as it can sometimes get "lost" in a large wall of text.

NOTE: By default, most documents have black text on a white background, and the text cursor can sometimes blend in with the surrounding text.

TIP: There is a setting in Windows that allows for you to immediately locate your text cursor, no matter how much clutter there is on the page.

To change your Text Cursor Indicator, follow the steps below:

Navigate to the search bar

Type "Turn on text cursor indicator" and click the first option

Toggle the "Turn on text cursor indicator" option, and then select the colour and intensity you want

If the colour you want isn't available from the preset selections, you can set a custom one by clicking on "Pick a custom color"...

If you want to change the cursor thickness, you can do so with the "Change text cursor thickness" slider

NOTE: Keep an eye on the little preview window, as it will show you how thick the cursor will be.
