			Also give NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_CURSOR_SHAPE more granularity:
0 = do not change cursor shape
1 = non-blinking ("steady") cursor with mode-sensitive shape
2 = blinking cursor with mode-sensitive shape
Note: blink state is not changed for Konsole, instead user's terminal
preference makes the decision. (Can't do that for xterm-likes, DECSCUSR
forces us to choose blink-state.)
This is a temporary step until the TUI respects 'guicursor'

| .Sh DESCRIPTION
 | |
| .Nm
 | |
| is a text editor based on Vim.
 | |
| To enter commands in
 | |
| .Nm ,
 | |
| type a colon
 | |
| .Pq Sq \&:
 | |
| which is also used in this manual to denote commands.
 | |
| For more information, consult the on-line help system with the
 | |
| .Ic :help
 | |
| command.
 | |
| .Bl -tag -width Fl
 | |
| .It Ar file ...
 | |
| File(s) to edit.
 | |
| If none are specified, open an empty buffer.
 | |
| If multiple files are specified, open one buffer for each file.
 | |
| To switch between buffers, use the
 | |
| .Ic :next
 | |
| and
 | |
| .Ic :previous
 | |
| commands.
 | |
| .It Fl
 | |
| Read text from standard input until
 | |
| .Dv EOF ,
 | |
| then open a buffer with that text.
 | |
| Commands are read from standard error, which should be a terminal.
 | |
| .It Fl t Ar tag
 | |
| The file to edit and the initial cursor position depends on a
 | |
| tag, a sort of goto label.
 | |
| .Ar tag
 | |
| is looked up in the tags file, the associated file becomes the current
 | |
| file and the associated command is executed.
 | |
| If
 | |
| .Ar tag
 | |
| is a function name, the file containing that function is opened
 | |
| with the cursor positioned at the start of the function.
 | |
| See
 | |
| .Ic :help tag-commands .
 | |
| .It Fl q Op Ar errorfile

| .Ic :cnext

| command.

 | |
| .Ic :help quickfix .
