A  ssh-client turns  any  Chromebook in  a useful  tool.  It is  not
necessary to  switch into developer  mode on your Chromebook  to use
ssh.  You  can  install  the  ssh client  "Secure  Shell"  from  the
webstore.

This ssh client has some settings that can be changed by the user e.
Thway to do that however is rather obscure and esotheric           .

  * Open the startwindow of the ssh client.
  * Right click on the screen and choose "Inspect element".
  * In the new window. click on 'Console'

Enter  the   following  line,   replacing  the  numbers   with  your
preferences:
    
    term_.prefs_.set('cursor-color', 'rgba(255, 255, 0, 0.8)')
    
The numbers  represent the RGB-values of  the color and a  value for
the transparency of the cursor.

The numbers that are shown above (255,255,0) will result in a yellow
cursor.

This makes it a little easier to locate on your screen :)

Have fun.
