What's up with the huge cursor in insert mode in some of the GIFs[0]?

Just above the gif:

> Customizable cursor height (see :h NvuiCaretExtendTop and :h NvuiCaretExtendBottom)

  Ex. :NvuiCaretExtendTop 200, :NvuiCaretExtendBottom 100 (see below)

I would assume to make it easier to find?

I do something similar by setting cursorline and cursorcolumn. It gives me a (more subtle) full-file crosshair showing where the cursor is.

right? does it do something other than e.g. ` [ctrl-v]3jI ` ?

No reason, I just used to use Sublime Text and liked how the cursor appeared bigger than the text.
