If this option is enabled the end of the text (after end of very last line) will be emphasized with an end of text symbol (per default this is the end of line symbol). This symbol does not belong to the text content and cannot be edited or selected. Per default the end of text symbol will not be shown.
This option is dedicated for the block cursor handling, with current cursor handling the block cursor cannot be used without a "place holder" for the cursor. Try the following example:
Everything works fine with block cursor. But after setting the options -showendofline and -showendoftext to no the cursor handling has some problems.
We also need the equivalents to -eolcolor and -eolchar:
Specifies the character to use when displaying the end of text symbol (see option -showendoftext). An empty argument will force the use of the same symbol used for showing the end of line (see -eolchar).
Specifies the foreground color to use when displaying the end of text symbol (see option -showendoftext). An empty argument will force the use the same color as the end of line symbol (see -eolcolor).
