I'm considering it a bug based on the fact that the behavior in the title is the vim behavior.\r\n\r\nVim, 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.\r\n\r\nIn 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.\r\n\r\nAs 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.\r\n\r\n**To Reproduce**\r\nSteps to reproduce the behavior:\r\n\r\n1. Open an editor window\r\n2. Enter ':', '/', or '?' to enter command-line mode\r\n3. The cursor continues to casually hang around in the editor window\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior**\r\nAfter step #2 above, the cursor should disappear until command-line mode is exited.\r\n\r\n**Screenshots**\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/529168/43864180-02e473f2-9b2d-11e8-8c2d-0b877f135c52.png)\r\n\r\n\r\n**Environment (please complete the following information):**\r\n\r\n<!--\r\nEnsure you are on the latest VSCode + VSCodeVim\r\nYou can use \"Report Issue\" by running \"Developers: Show Running Extensions\" from the Command Pallette to prefill these.\r\n-->\r\n\r\n- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.15.7\r\n- VSCode version: 1.24.1\r\n- OS: Xubuntu 18.04\r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
