Description
MinTTY allows to change cursor styles and colors but mosh ignores them.
This would be useful for vim (different insert and normal mode cursors)
Mode-dependent cursor in vim:
CSI Ps SP q
Example: echo -ne '\e]12;#00FF00\a' # green cursor
http://code.google.com/p/mintty/wiki/Tips#Mode-dependent_cursor_in_vim
Changing colors:
OSC Ps ; Pt ST
OSC Ps ; Pt BEL
Example: echo -ne "\e[2 q" # non blinking block cursor
