This is probably a better default to reset back to, but we do want a better solution in the future that reads |

I changed this line by changing the 2 to a 0.
The previous escape code
\x1B[2 qsets the cursor to be a static block according to this specification. The new escape code\x1B[0 qrestores the cursor to the user's default.To be honest, I'm not sure if this will fix the issue for everyone. It fixes it for me on arch linux using gnome and with the alacritty terminal. With this change, when I exit out of helix, my terminal cursor is restored to a blinking underscore.
@DivergentClouds found the solution, which they shared in issue #2684.
There are also several other terminal-based editors that have had this same issue of not restoring the user's terminal cursor style, such as here and here.
