Can this be turned off? I always loose my cursor when it is hidden.

I'm finding this functionality buggy. I have not been able to pinpoint it but what happens is that the cursor turns off and will not turn back on until I click outside of wezterm window. Moving the mouse, inside or outside, of wezterm does not turn it on. Clicking inside of wezterm does not turn it on. Only clicking outside of wezterm will get it to turn back on.

This happens multiple times per day but I have found "the" sequence to make it always happen.

I also noticed that when selecting text through tmux the cursor disappears and reappears every time I hold shift and move my cursor.

macos: use alternative cursor hiding technique
2bb0e4e 
NSCursor hide/unhide must be perfectly balanced otherwise
the cursor can vanish unexpectedly when the mouse leaves
the window, and not come back.

So, let's use NSCursor:setHiddenUntilMouseMoves instead; it's
not 100% fulfilling the promise of the API, but it's close enough
and should avoid the permanent invisibility issue.

I'm using the nightly with this fix and it is working properly so far.

Has this been implemented on wayland?

@ram02z not yet. Wayland support is difficult because it is incompatible with my nvidia hardware. If you're in a position to have a go at implementing this feature on Wayland, I'd be happy to take a PR for it!
