Terminal emulation: blinking cursor? #153

I don't think the cursor ANSI escape sequences for blinking are supported, either, but block, | and _ are: |

Any progress for this issue? |

So far, blink style is not supported by termux. pip install rich
python -m rich|grep blinkthe word blink will be still not blinking. |

@Freed-Wu: This issue is about having a blinking cursor. That is not the same thing as blinking text. |

sorry for my error :( |

Hope the terminal emulation can support the blinking cursor. Without it, there are two practical problems I met when using termux:

It shows this but it doesn't show the password stuff

This `terminal-cursor-blink-rate` key can be used to enable terminal cursor blinking. The user can set an int value between `100` and `2000` which will be used as blink rate in millisecond. The default value is `0`, which disables cursor blinking. So adding an entry like `terminal-cursor-blink-rate=600` to `~/termux.properties` file will make the cursor attempt to blink every 600ms. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the cursor blinking rate instantaneously if changed. A background thread is used to control the blinking by toggling the cursor visibility and then invalidating the view every x milliseconds set. This will have a performance impact, so use wisely and at your own risk. If the cursor itself is disabled, which is controlled by whether DECSET_BIT_CURSOR_ENABLED (DECSET 25, DECTCEM), then blinking will be automatically disabled. You can enable the cursor with `tput cnorm` or `echo -e '\e[?25h'` and disable it with `tput civis` or `echo -e '\e[?25l'`. Note that you can also change the cursor color by adding `cursor` property to `~/colors.properties` file, like `cursor=#FFFFFF` for a white cursor. The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.9.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes. Closes termux#153

I'm not sure it's a bug, because the last time I dug into the intricacies of Unix terminal definitions was really long ago, and I ran away screaming. But it kind of presents a practical problem:
The cursor does not natively blink, and Emacs can't make it blink.
Also, the result of running
tput cnormandtput cvviscommands is identical, a rectangle cursor, when the first one is supposed to produce an underscore cursor, so something is very probably wrong.This is kind of a problem in Emacs, because when background is used for highlighting (i.e. on TODO items in org-mode) the block cursor can become completely invisible while over the highlighted text, and blinking cursor becomes a necessity.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
