I was wondering how the blinking cursor in Qt Creator could be turned off?
As a matter of personal preference, I keep cursor blinking off at the OS level since it can get quite annoying after a while. Unfortunately, Qt Creator does not seem to respect that. I tried looking for an option to turn it off in the IDE but couldn't find any.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
I agree that the blinking coursor is VERY annoying! It hardly makes it possible to me to work with QtCreator at all... Unfortunately there is probably no way to turn it off or to change the blinking frequency. So what i suggest is:
1) change the color of the cursor to be less harming... for example to grey instead of black. You can do it in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor . Remember that you are not allowed by QtCreator to make any changes to the Default Color Scheme, so you need to click "Copy.." first and than you can make changes to colors. Change the "Text" color - it will change the color of the cursor (but the color of text too... :( ) - but that's the only way to do it I think
2) Alternatevly you can change the version of QtCreator you're using to some older ones. As I remeber older versions of QtCreator did resect Opereting System setting related to cursor blinking rate (for now I'm using QtCreator v.5.2.1 so you need to search for some older version).
Good luck! :)
