Description

Summary

When in Vim or Insert modes, this happens often:

screenshot_2017-02-22_14-44-27_299089682

Or worse when the cursor is in one of the 6 lines hiding behind the top bar. I have to constantly scroll manually using the mouse or one of the available shortcuts.

So given the above, is there any workaround to always have the cursor visible or to prevent it from hiding behind the top bar?

Thanks

Environment

  • Operating system : Sabayon Linux - amd64
  • Web browser : Google Chrome (56.0.2924.87) and Firefox (51.0)
  • Version or revision of Jupyter Notebook : (4.3.1)
  • Revision of jupyter-vim-binding : (v2.0.4-4-g91de1d8)

Remarks

Behavior is reproducible in both Firefox and Chrome. In addition to vim-binding I have ExecuteTime and codefolding enabled.

Research direction
Investigate the cursor visibility logic in the jupyter vim binding extension. The issue describes the cursor hiding behind the top bar in vim mode. Potential solutions involve adjusting the scroll position when the cursor is near the top, or modifying the z index and overflow behavior. The relevant code likely resides in the cursor management module.
