Suggestion: Change cursor to square when waiting for a key #7

I personally found quite useful when I started with ratpoison to have the cursor change when the escape sequence is pressed and the wm is waiting for a key.

If this ratpoison behaviour is something you think would fit your vision for cagebreak it would be nice to have it :)

Hi nipsis, Thanks for your suggestion! I'm not sure though if we will be adding this feature to cagebreak: I do also see the benefit of having the cursor change when cagebreak is waiting for a key. However, if I remember correctly it is a bit of a hassle to set the pointer from the compositor and I don't think it would be worth writing ~200 lines of code with potential bugs (not only in these lines but also in the additional dependencies that we may need) only to have this feature. We will be looking into what is needed though and let you know what we decide. Cheers, project-repo
