Cursor is not restored event after Neovim has closed

[winkee01]

neovim open a directory and then type :Fern . to open the browsing view, the cursor type will become verticle bar.

steps:

1) open current directory, my cursor type is box

2) use :Fern . to browse, now my box cursor becomes vertical bar

3) exit neovim, but cursor is still vertical bar

my iterm2's settings for cursor:

plugins:

Plug 'antoinemadec/FixCursorHold.nvim'
Plug 'lambdalisue/fern.vim'

OS: Mac OS X, Catalina Terminal: iTerm2 Editor: neovim

PS: I test fern in vim, but it will not change my cursor, so I guess there is some problem with working in neovim?

[lambdalisue]

That's a feature. You can disable it by the following

*g:fern#disable_viewer_hide_cursor*
    Set 1 to disable viewer hide cursor. Note that Neovim prior to 0.5.0
    cannot hide cursor thus the cursor is shown as a vertical bar instead.

Oops. Sorry, I didn't notice the last line

exit neovim, but cursor is still vertical bar

But I could not reproduce. Please write a minimum vimrc and steps to reproduce.

[winkee01]

1) ~/.vimrc

set nocompatible " must be first
set encoding=utf-8
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'antoinemadec/FixCursorHold.nvim'
Plug 'lambdalisue/fern.vim'
call plug#end()

2) ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

set termguicolors
set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
let &packpath = &runtimepath
source ~/.vimrc

[winkee01]

I found that if in tmux window, it will reproduce the issue. otherwise ok.

[winkee01]

Another, it does not display a box cursor even if work "normally", in my case, the effect is like below: as you can see, there is no cursor, but a highlighted line indicates on which line the cursor is.

[lambdalisue]

Please make it a minimum.

[winkee01]

the minimun can be

set nocompatible " must be first
set encoding=utf-8

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'antoinemadec/FixCursorHold.nvim'
Plug 'lambdalisue/fern.vim'
call plug#end()

[winkee01]

hi, are you able to reproduce the issue?

[winkee01]

g:fern#disable_viewer_hide_cursor in some cases but it seems not work with neovim.

[lambdalisue]

hi, are you able to reproduce the issue?

Unfortunately no.

[winkee01]

this reproduces on my machine every time. I tested on different machines.

[ludamillion]

When I have some time I'll try to reproduce with a minimum config but I'm also having the exact issues described. I'm currently using Tmux and kitty terminal

[lambdalisue]

Unfortunately, I'm using Tmux on iTerm2 as well but I could not reproduce it...

@winkee01 @ludamillion

The PR description has several topics thus I'd like to make sure if both of your face a real issue

use :Fern . to browse, now my box cursor becomes vertical bar

Another, it does not display a box cursor even if work "normally", in my case, the effect is like below: as you can see, there is no cursor, but a highlighted line indicates on which line the cursor is.

Above are feature. Fern hide cursor in fern buffer so you'll never see cursor on fern buffer (disable this feature by g:fern#disable_viewer_hide_cursor = 1)

So if you are talking about this. The issue is definitely invalid.

exit neovim, but cursor is still vertical bar

This is not feature and I could not reproduce this in the following environment

• macOS Catalina 10.15.6
• iTerm 2 Build 3.3.12
• Tmux 3.1b
• Zsh 5.8
• Vim 8.2.1456 or Neovim v0.4.4

If you are talking about this. Please make minimum information to reproduce the issue. Additionally, I feel it's kind Neovim's issue rather than fern itself while you said that the cursor is not restored after Neovim has closed.

[winkee01]

Somehow it works normally today, just don't know why.
