Hiding cursor doesn't seem to work?

[marcinjahn]

I tried to follow https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim/wiki/Visual-Customizations#hide-cursor-in-neo-tree-window
I'm using LazyVim, and I added the following plugin file:

return {
  {
    "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
    opts = {
      event_handlers = {
        {
          event = "neo_tree_buffer_enter",
          handler = function()
            -- This effectively hides the cursor
            vim.cmd("highlight! Cursor blend=100")
          end,
        },
        {
          event = "neo_tree_buffer_leave",
          handler = function()
            -- Make this whatever your current Cursor highlight group is.
            vim.cmd("highlight! Cursor guibg=#5f87af blend=0")
          end,
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

It doesn't seem to work in any way, I can still see the cursor in the neo-tree. Did I do something wrong?

@marcinjahn I've successfully made it work using this setup :

event_handlers = {
    {
        event = "neo_tree_buffer_enter",
        handler = function()
            local hl = vim.api.nvim_get_hl_by_name('Cursor', true)
            hl.blend = 100
            vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'Cursor', hl)
            vim.opt.guicursor:append('a:Cursor/lCursor')
        end
    },
    {
        event = "neo_tree_buffer_leave",
        handler = function()
            local hl = vim.api.nvim_get_hl_by_name('Cursor', true)
            hl.blend = 0
            vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'Cursor', hl)
            vim.opt.guicursor:remove('a:Cursor/lCursor')
        end
    },
},

I'm not really fluent in lua so things could be done a bit better I think but still, I hope this can help !
