@@ -74,6 +74,17 @@ tmux has supported the ability to directly change the cursor for some time now.
 If you're using an old version that cannot handle this, then you can enable the

+                                       *togglecursor_enable_gnu_screen_escaping*
+Enables GNU Screen support by checking if the 'STY' environment variable is set.
+When turned on, the cursor toggle should behave as expected both within a screen
+session and when exiting screen.
+
+To turn it on, you can set the g:togglecursor_enable_gnu_screen_escaping
+to a non-zero value in your vimrc: >

 Note: This option is no longer supported.  Neovim adopted a different mechanism
 for enabling the cursor, so this is no longer necessary.
