#+BEGIN_SRC elisp :eval no
;;; `after!' will take:

;; An unquoted package symbol (the name of a package)
(after! helm ...)

;; An unquoted list of package symbols (i.e. BODY is evaluated once both magit
;; and git-gutter have loaded)
(after! (magit git-gutter) ...)

;; An unquoted, nested list of compound package lists, using any combination of
;; :or/:any and :and/:all
(after! (:or package-a package-b ...)  ...)
(after! (:and package-a package-b ...) ...)
(after! (:and package-a (:or package-b package-c) ...) ...)
;; (Without :or/:any/:and/:all, :and/:all are implied.)

;; A common mistake is to pass it the names of major or minor modes, e.g.
(after! rustic-mode ...)
(after! python-mode ...)
;; But the code in them will never run! rustic-mode is in the `rustic' package
;; and python-mode is in the `python' package. This is what you want:
(after! rustic ...)
(after! python ...)

** Update cursor shape under terminal Emacs
Install [[https://github.com/7696122/evil-terminal-cursor-changer][evil-terminal-cursor-changer]]. The package isn't included in Doom because
it is not maintained, unreasonably buggy, and lacks support for a number of
terminals. Where it fails, it inserts unexpected characters into the buffer. To
uphold the principle of least surprise, an unchanging cursor is less surprising
than unwarranted characters.

Alternatively, an updated version exists at
[[https://github.com/amosbird/evil-terminal-cursor-changer][amosbird/evil-terminal-cursor-changer]], with support for urxvt and tmux.
