I don't like box cursors, blinking or not. They make the character they cover harder to see. > > * do you think it is an imposition to put: > (blink-cursor-mode 0) > in ~/.emacs to turn it off? I like the cursor to blink. It usually makes it easier to find when I've lost it. > > * do you use another shape cursor (such as vertical bar)? > if so, which? vertical bar - yes always.

Never have wanted to so far. I wouldn't want it to blink while I was actually typing..but it doesn't. Just when I stop. > > * how do the number of frames visible and the blinking affect > your (dis)comfort? (again, looking for correlation info.) Generally speaking, I don't find multiple frames useful unless I'm on a machine with multiple monitors. I do however use multiple windows all the time. Only the active window cursor blinks. I think I would find it quite distracting to have a cursor blinking in an inactive window. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
