Yes, RenderTheme hardcodes the interval to 0.5. > defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod -int 100000000 This is not a perfect way to disable blinking. The value is in milliseconds, and equals ~27 hours. So after this period, the cursor will disappear. > defaults write -g CursorBlink -string 0 This is a preference of Terminal.app that should have no effect on other applications. For Apple employees, see also <rdar://problem/13196044>. |
