描述

Describe the bug So this is somewhere between a bug and a feature request. I'm considering it a bug based on the fact that the behavior in the title is the vim behavior.

Vim, being terminal-based, only has one cursor. When you enter command-line mode in vim (by typing a colon ':', slash, '/', or question mark '?'), the cursor jumps to the bottom line of the window where commands, searches, or filters can be entered.

In vscode, with the vim plugin, when you enter any of these modes, a small cursor appears in the status line at the bottom, but the cursor in the editor also remains. The cursor in the editor should disappear while the command line has keyboard focus.

As a long time vim user, I found that I was often becoming confused over whether or not I was in command line mode but didn't actually realize why until just today: the blinking cursor in the editor.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open an editor window
  2. Enter ':', '/', or '?' to enter command-line mode
  3. The cursor continues to casually hang around in the editor window

Expected behavior After step #2 above, the cursor should disappear until command-line mode is exited.

研究方向
To fix this bug, you need to locate where the editor cursor visibility is controlled when entering command line mode. Look in files like `src/mode/modeHandler.ts` or similar, where mode transitions are handled. The cursor should be hidden when entering command line mode (triggered by ':', '/', '?') and restored upon exit. Find the function that sets the cursor style or visibility and add logic to hide it. Consult the VSCode API documentation for `TextEditor.options.cursorStyle` or `setDecorations`. The issue is localized and well described, making it a good first issue.
