I think having the cursor visible in all panes would have two benefits:
- As a clear indicator that synchronized input is enabled.
- Makes it easier to see what's going on in the other panes, specially when
editing the same file from different servers for example, and a single
character differs in one of the files. Since you can't see in the other panes
where the cursor is, it's quite easy to make a mistake.
I do think this kind of feature should have an option to enable/disable it,
specially since there seems to be people against it :)
