Is there any way to turn it off in MacOS 15.7.3 or any other version?
I find it intolerable. I tried the "Prefer non-blinking cursor" in my
System Settings, but it doesn't work in LyX.
This is a Qt setting. The following works on Linux Mint and may be
doable on MacOS.
1. Install the Qt 5 configuration tool (qt5ct on Linux).
2. Run the tool. If you get a warning about QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME not
being set, you have to add the line QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct to an
appropriate configuration file and reboot. In my case, I was able to
add it to ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf. Other Linux users report
putting it in /etc/environment or other places. You'll have to do a
little research to find the appropriate file on a Mac.
3. Once the configuration tool is running without warnings, go to the
Interface tab and change "Cursor flash time" to 0ms. Click Apply and
then start LyX and confirm that the cursor is rock solid.
Note that this will affect all apps on your system using Qt5, not just LyX.
