Yea so this is because the urlbar has focused and thus the editor event listener handles the event.

Maybe we shouldn't hide the cursor if the keyboard event has modifiers, wdyt masayuki?

It'd be a simple extra check here.

I think No because editing shortcut keys shouldn't cause showing the caret. I wonder, when an editor blurs, the cursor should be shown with a short delay? (Immediately doing it could cause flickering caret when user does Tab key navigation between multiple <input>.)

To be clear this is not about the caret, but the mouse cursor, right? Right now the cursor gets re-shown on mousemove which I think is fine.

Err, yes, the mouse cursor. My brain just hasn't been clear yet.
