Disable macOS Sonoma Text Insertion Point (Cursor) / Caps-lock Indicator

Is there any way to disable the new text cursor in macOS Sonoma? The caps lock indicator is kind of distracting.

Solution

  • Thanks to stephancasas for the explanation and the solution. Another way of implementing it, from Terminal:

    sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add 'redesigned_text_cursor:Enabled' bool false" /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/UIKit.plist

    Reboot for the change to take effect.
