README
pi-tmux-cursor-focus
A Pi extension that hides the editor cursor in unfocused tmux panes.
It wraps the active Pi editor instead of replacing it, so it works alongside other prompt/status-bar extensions.

What it does

TMUX_PANE. - Installs tmux focus hooks for that pane.
- Hides Pi's fake editor cursor when the pane loses focus.
- Restores the cursor when focus returns.
- Keeps any existing editor wrapper instead of replacing it.
