Hi Sean, Thanks for following up on this -- I got everything working Ok.

Just for the sake of anyone coming across this looking to do something similar, here's what I ended up placing in my vimrc (with ^[ being a literal escape of course) : if &term == "tmux.linux" set t_ve+=^[]12;31^[\ " yellow cursor, normal mode au InsertEnter * set t_ve+=^[]112^[\ " green cursor, insert mode au InsertLeave * set t_ve+=^[]12;31^[\ " yellow cursor, normal mode autocmd VimLeave * set t_ve+=^[]112^[\ " green cursor (default) endif This will switch the cursor color upon entering Vim (in normal mode), switch it back & forth when entering/leaving insert mode, and return the cursor color to the default when quiting Vim. To allow Vim to differentiate between a screen session and a tmux session running in the framebuffer console, I copied a screen.linux terminfo to ~/.terminfo/t/tmux.linux and set default-terminal to "tmux.linux" in my ~/.tmux.conf file. At some point I may transition completely to tmux and not need that... > The main takeaway is that the 3rd parameter is logically OR'd with > the attribute bits and then parameter 2 is XOR'd. so in the example > above we're first forcing all attribute bits on (ie. with 255) > and then turning some of those bits off with whatever we set in > parameter 2.

Thanks for writing up all these details, it'll come in handy for future reference when wrangling with Linux console escape & control sequences.
