Hello,
Please do the following:
1/ Start a standard cmd console
Launch Windows Vim (C:\Program Files\vim\vim72\vim.exe) with
vim -u NONE file1
Result: file1 opens with a block cursor. If insert mode is activated,
the cursor changes to underscore (nice)
2/ Launch cygwin.bat
Launch cygwin Vim with
vim -u NONE file1
Result: file1 is opened with an underscore cursor. No change when
insert mode is activated.
Is there a way to have mode dependent cursor shape in Cygwin Vim in a
Windows console?
Best regards.
Jean Johner

No, but I'm sure a patch implementing the DECSCUSR control sequence
using SetConsoleCursorInfo() would be welcome. (Copyright assignment
required.)

Correct. Theoretically this could be patched into Cygwin vim, but the
whole point of Cygwin is that Unix/Linux programs can be compiled and
run (nearly) unmodified, so that's not going to happen.

No. I don't maintain the console and mintty keeps me busy enough already.

I guess this patch is not in Vim code (which is able to do the job in a
normal cmd console window) but rather in cygwin.dll which reconfigures
the console.
Could you implement such a patch yourself?
No emergency, though.
Best regards.
