[RFC] Animating the cursor blink

[kovidgoyal]

Hi all,

I have added support for animating the cursor blink to kitty. It is off by default but can be turned on using the cursor_blink_interval option in kitty.conf. For example:

kitty -o 'cursor_blink_interval 0.5 ease-in-out'

See the docs for the option for details.

I'd appreciate some testing and feedback on how it works given there are lots of different possibilities for cursor colors, backgrounds, opacity, etc.

This is in master now and will be in the next nightly build in an hour or so.

Thanks and enjoy.

Facing an Error

Hey @kovidgoyal I am facing this Error when I try to execute kitty -o 'cursor_blink_interval 0.5 ease-in-out' on my kitty terminal.

I tried to change values in kitty.conf and it works in there.

That implies the kitty you are running is not built from master/nightly.

Okay, thanks for resolving it.
