If you make sure these codes are undefined, Console Vim will never
change the cursor shape. This is the default and that's why I mentioned
a possible system vimrc in my reply of a few minutes ago. If such a
system vimrc exists, you can override it by
if has('unix') && !has('gui_running')
set t_SI= t_EI=
endif
