get_cursor_w(3)

✨ get_cursor_w — the gstream manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so welcome to the gstream manual 💖 this is the page for get_cursor_w, and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving tiny but mighty 🦋

get_cursor_w — she tells you how wide your cursor is rn 💅

#include <gstream.h>

int get_cursor_w();

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no drama, just a width 🎀

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — get_cursor_w hands you back the input cursor width in the current insert-mode.

and the way that works is lowkey genius: it's mode-aware, bestie. so it depends on what mode the gstream is in when you call it 👑

if the gstream is in insert mode when this function is called, it returns the cursor's insert width ✨
if it's in overwrite mode, it returns the cursor's overwrite width 💫

so like. same function, different fits depending on the mode. main character energy fr fr 😭🫶

no cap: the return value is literally whatever width matches the mode you're in at call time. that's the whole bit. she ate 💅

gstream-get_cursor_h(3) — the height bestie, go say hi 🦋
gstream-set_cursor_dimensions(3) — when you wanna set the dimensions instead of just asking about them 👑

and that's the page!! mwah 💜 stay hydrated, read your manpages, and remember: your cursor width is valid no matter what mode you're in 🎀✨

this has been get_cursor_w(3) from the gstream manual, version 1.6 — periodt 💅🌸
