What is the status of this? `cursor-chg.el' is a library that does this. It defines command `toggle-cursor-type-when-idle', which toggles this behavior. It also defines a minor mode, `change-cursor-mode', which optionally does either of the following: . changes the cursor shape on overwrite or when a buffer is read-only . changes the cursor color when you use an input method How about adding this library (modulo integration changes, such as removing Emacs-20 compatibility code)?
