How can I stop the blinking cursor?

Hey

I have been using an older version of TLF and used blinking = false when I did nor want the cursor to blink.

Now I cannot find another way to achieve this.

It seems like if you use the SelectionManager you are stuck with this default blink.

Or am I wrong?

Regards

Correct answer rdermer

The blinkRate was moved from the SelectionManager to the SelectionFormat.  That way you could have separate blink rates for focused and unfocused selections.

Assign new SelectionFormats to the SelectionManager focusedSelectionFormat, inactiveSelectionFormat and/or unfocusedSelectionFormat properties.
