4 years ago This feature is implemented in my branch feature/cursor-focus-aware.
It currently looks like this:
It builds on top of the changes in #790, so once that one is merged, it's only a small step towards an out-ouf-focus special cursor.
It'd be nice if there was a visual way of showing that the window is out of focus. This is useful when I have the editor full screen on 1 of my 2 monitors and the window bars are not visible. I'm not sure about most people, but this is how I use VimR 90% of the time.
Often I won't realize that I'm out of focus and I'll start typing for a few moments before noticing it.
When I'm using Vim/NeoVim inside iTerm2, when focus leaves the iTerm window, the cursor changes from a solid rectangle to an outlined one. This simple visual cue makes me quickly realize I'm not in focus and I instinctively hit cmd-tab.
