"blink" and "solid" cursor can be set by using ANSI escape code lkie:
But "smooth" and "phase" is impossible due to limitation of the terminal. Maybe this will be imperment to the GUI forntend. |

Helix draws its own cursors since we need multiple cursors, hiding the terminal cursor. |

I would like this too. The block cursor for me is indeed solid and non-flashing, but the bar cursor flashes (even when moving the cursor), making it hard to see its position sometimes when moving the cursor around. |

My Helix cursor never blinks (including at the command line, in the file picker etc - where the terminal cursor's color is reused by Helix). The cursor blinks correctly in zsh, outside of Helix. I'm using iTerm on macOS. A couple of other people have reported the same issue (@ChzenChzen and @eliasboegel, also on macOS). |

Also seeing a non-blinking cursor on ubuntu 24.04 using the builtin terminal. The cursor blinks correctly outside of helix, in the shell and in vim for example. |

This is a workaround for restoring blinking (if this is what you have) after closing helix:
Note that Neovim seems to have this exact issue too, so it could be reasonable to handle the fallback in the shell prompt. |

It'd be great if the cursor could have a
solid
mode that does not blink.Sublime Text has a few options("smooth", "phase", "blink", "solid"), but it seems easiest just to do
blink
