IDEA-30308 Support custom editor cursors

Issue is visible to: All Users
  The issue is visible to the selected user group only
My plugin (IdeaVIM) would benefit from being able to display custom cursors in an editor. Currently there are only two possible cursors - block or vertical bar.

What kind of cursors you'd like to add? I mean we have to know what that could be to design an API.

I was thinking of allowing arbitrary, custom carets similar to javax.swing.text.Caret used by javax.swing.text.JTextComponent. Really all I need is to be able to provide a custom 'paint' method to draw the caret I need. Some example carets I need include underscore, half block, full block, and the standard bar.

Thanks,
Rick
