I am happy with a few blinks on motion, then, a steady block

TBH I just noticed to have a square cursor that blinks slowly.

Ah, remember now. I used to have a vertical line cursor in the past, but when there is lots of text on the screen, it was difficult to spot, which required a faster blink rate - which was irritating to me when I had focus on the cursor already.

So i settled for the square (well, rectangle) cursor with a slow blink.

Blinky bar. I don't need a constant reminder of how wide a character is, only where the next character is going to start.

do you like square cursors or pipe like cursors? should the cursor blink?
