cursor_blink_rate

Specifies how often a blinking cursor transitions between visible and invisible, expressed in milliseconds. Setting this to 0 disables blinking.

Note that this value is approximate due to the way that the system event loop schedulers manage timers; non-zero values will be at least the interval specified with some degree of slop.

It is recommended to avoid blinking cursors when on battery power, as it is relatively costly to keep re-rendering for the blink!

config.cursor_blink_rate = 800

The functionality described in this section requires version 20220319-142410-0fcdea07 of wezterm, or a more recent version.

The cursor blink is controlled by the easing functions specified by the cursor_blink_ease_in and cursor_blink_ease_out.
