You mean for you the cursor is suppressed for both patches when an occurrence
is marked?  Or the cursor is still present for both patches?  If yes, then
which terminal do you use?

Ah...  Maybe you don't see a difference because for you the cursor has the
same color as the highlighting?  For me the cursor (steady block) is bright
yellow, and the highlighted text is white on magenta -- a strong contrast.

Yes, I like the highlighted search match too.  The cursor hiding itself is
a little odd, but... acceptable.  So I think I will add the thing to nano,
behind an option.
