Public bug reported: Using ANSI escape sequences you can change the cursor color from the command-line, like so: echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G"; Where 'ESC' and '^G' are the single characters: escape and control-g. After doing this when you switch tab and back again the cursor color will have changed to black.
