Vieb should have Vim's mousehide setting/toggle, to hide the mouse cursor when typing, and show it again when the mouse is moved. These are the requirements for such a feature:
The main reason for the lack of support for this feature is because there is a long-standing Electron bug preventing the cursor from being updated in a webview. I have also tried a couple of workarounds to fix this, but most of them ironically require the mouse to be moved before the cursor styling is applied. See this electron issue for details. I will not merge PRs that do not contain a fix/workaround for this bug, as it defeats the purpose of having a "mousehide" setting.
