You didn't say if you were looking for a terminal with that capability but in case you are I see a chance to plug for my favorite: I've always found, in the end the regular xterm is more feature rich than you can imagine and all other terminal emulators use a subset of what xterm is capable of. That statement might be inaccurate since I haven't researched every terminal emulator... but in practice... with kde xfce gnome fluxbox, blackbox and few I've forgotten the name of... xterm was always better. Concerning blinking >From xterm man page: -bc turn on text cursor blinking. This overrides the cursorBlink resource. -bcf milliseconds set the amount of time text cursor is off when blinking via the curso- rOffTime resource. -bcn milliseconds set the amount of time text cursor is on when blinking via the curso- rOffTime resource. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
