Please document this in etc/NEWS. Many people have asked for such
"hooks" to highlight the frame/buffer/window that has focus.

Why not everywhere?

The objects, events or functions? I thought that events in special_map was kind of "internal", but I see switch-frame is documented. I can document focus-in/out in a similar way.

A non-gui Emacs has no control of the cursor, it is a property of the underlying terminal. Also, I don't have development environments on W32 or msdos, nor the time or diesire to set one up.

The MSDOS part is a red herring: that one's a text-mode environment,
so the cursor blinks there in hardware and out of Emacs's control.

Hmm... why is it in the special map?

Why does it matter? Such global compatibility details should presumably
be handled elsewhere by simply not enabling the blink-cursor timers
under ttys if it doesn't work (tho I do know it can be made to work in
some cases).

Because switch-frame is there, and this is similar.

blink-cursor-mode is not enabled by default on ttys. It can be enabled manually, but it has no effect other than running the timers. Also, there is really no concept of focus-out or focus-in in a tty session, we can't know when we have or loose focus.

Exactly my point: you don't need to "disable" your code under ttys,
since the code is not run anyway in that case.

I don't think we really need focus-in/focus-out for the feature to be
useful: you can just blink N times every time Emacs becomes idle and
then stop blinking.

I did not disable it for ttys in particular, but for w32. If there is no focus-in implementation for w32 (as the case is right now), cursors won't start blinking when a frame gets focus again.

But then the above applies, it won't stop blinking if the (for example) xterm looses focus and it wont start blining when the xterm regains focus. The latter is more serious IMHO.

That's right. It will only blink again in response to an
actual command. That's not best, but "until the feature is implemented
in w32" it doesn't sound terrible at all.

I don't find it serious at all. If you need to find the cursor, just
try to move it and it'll blink.

Hmmm no, switch-frame is not in special-event-map.

Indeed, I must have misread the code.
