I set the caret color in Settings->Editor->Margins and caret and choose File->Save everything. Next time I enter codeblocks the caret color is again the default one. No wonder, since the caret section of default.conf
<caret>
<STYLE int="1" />
<WIDTH int="1" />
<PERIOD int="500" />
</caret>
does not contain any color at all.
There are other problems as well. I installed color themes from here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Syntax_highlighting_custom_colour_themes. I choose a color theme (Vim), choose File->Save everything. Next time I enter codeblocks the default color scheme is selected (modnokai_night_shift_v2).
Is there any way to use the normal X clipboard? I am unable to paste text from an external window (a terminal or another editor) using the middle mouse button. I can paste text within codeblocks in this way, but only as long as it remains selected.
I'm in Arch Linux, with codeblocks version 16.01.
