I like a 5 Hz blinking cursor. In KDE by default, if at all, cursors blink once a second. For me, this is losing, on average, half a second of my life every time I look for the cursor. gvim is my normal editor, and it can control the blink, and firefox has a configuration ui.caretBlinkTime that sets the blink time.
Gnome and Windows have settings for this, at least they did the last time I looked for them.
Now, if one searches for this, the results are drowned by those who want to turn the blink off. I don't understand...
Back in Qt 4 there was a configuration file where one could set the cursor blink time. This no longer worked in Qt 5, but internally, in C++, there's a method, QApplication::cursorFlashTime, that can be replaced by using LD_PRELOAD.
With Qt 6, will the QApplication::cursorFlashTime hack still be possible? Or will there be another way to set it?
