Mr. Yikihiro Nakadaira supplied the following to the list a couple
months ago.....
<SNIP>
In Vim7 feedkeys() can be used.
autocmd CursorHold * call Timer()
function! Timer()
echo strftime("%c")
let K_IGNORE = "\x80\xFD\x35" " internal key code that is ignored
call feedkeys(K_IGNORE)
endfunction
</SNIP>
... this pretty much simulates a timed event when you leave the keyboard and
let vim run. Between this and CursorMoved perhaps you can accomplish what you
want
