Make the cursor indicate it's not active/in focus
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Apr 22, 2025 by hboon Closed Oct 11, 2025
In most shell utilities, including the shell command line itself when the window is not in focus, the cursor either displays differently (instead of a filled block when it's active, it becomes, eg. an unfilled rectangle).
For example, run watch ls in a shell window and click on another window to see how the cursor block display is different.
The Claude Code cursor always stays as a filled/solid block no matter the focus.
I work with tmux so I have splits and it's always slower to tell if Claude Code has focus.
