Yes. > * do you think it is an imposition to put: > (blink-cursor-mode 0) > in ~/.emacs to turn it off? Not personally, since I have so much crap in my .emacs anyway. But I imagine a new user can get pretty put off by it. > * do you use another shape cursor (such as vertical bar)? > if so, which? I use the default (block cursor) cursor, most of the time.

I have only tried the block cursor, and I find it horrible. I have not tried the blinking cursor with other cursor types. > * is cursor blinking a feature you would be inclined to > change during an editing session? if so, how often? It is now set to off.

I usually use only 1 frame (at most 2 frames), and very few windows. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
