Stephan,

Actually this should be really trivial (although after having tried it I
don't know if I like it...) Go to TextMorph>>keyStroke: and add as the
first line:

	Cursor blank show.

And you should have your effect. Note that this may not work on Macs -
the Mac VM used to generate mouse events even if the mouse hasn't done
anything. If that's still the case it won't work - but it does work fine
on Windows (and probably on Unix too).

Cheers,
  - Andreas
