I can't (no bidirectional support in Vi and derivatives).

Moreover, is it really asking too much if I ask for the cursor caret
to be visible on a dark background? I really don't understand why I
should turn to another program instead. And it's not as if I were
asking for a major feature to be implemented, and not even for a
feature, in fact. I am simply asking for a bug to be fixed, since the
caret should have been visible in the first place.
