Text cursor in xcode isn't typing. blinking rectangle instead of a blinking line


I'm using Xcode on a system that belonged to a former employe and I can't type. There's a weird rectangle text cursor blinking and a blank line at the bottom that responds to my key types in a weird manner. If I press a key the text cursor will just get smaller. There's also the location path of the file I'm currently on, I'd also like that to be removed. Thanks

Solution

  • XVim.xcplugin <-- that was the file causing all of this. After deletion and relunch everything is back to normal. You can find more information about it here: https://github.com/WarWithinMe/xVim
