I tried a couple of experiments, too, including this:
:set shell=C:\cygwin\bin\date.exe
:set shellcmdflag=
:echo system('')
but the mouse pointer still moved. I found some discussion of the
vimrun command here:
:help win32-vimrun
Here's an untested idea: Use Cygwin's run in place of Vim's vimrun.
Rename vim's vimrun.exe to something else, then copy Cygwin's
/bin/run.exe to where vimrun.exe was and name it vimrun.exe. I've
used Cygwin's run command to start commands without the annoying DOS
window in other situations--it just might work here.
