Summary: Ability to change Cursor Blink Rate Speed - See Bug#
34635
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.12.8
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@mdogg.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This was reported some time ago as a bug but I was asked to enter a new ticket
as a "wishlist". I hope that some day users can go in to the KDE Keyboard
Hardware and Layout menu and modify the cursor blink rate by turning it on or
off, or by setting the blink rate manually.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Reference: https://jurta.org/en/prog/noblink
* IMPORTANT NOTE from #opensuse-kde:
[2020-10-21 15:51:57] <ndavis> <mdogg "The process under the "KDE" sect"> Don't
use qt5ct with Plasma. It conflicts with system settings.
1. On KDE5 starting from Fedora 27 you can disable cursor blinking by doing
this:
Edit ~/.config/kdeglobals, set in the [KDE] section
OBSERVED RESULT
I learned that when using the CursorBlinkRate= field, the number zero forces
the cursor to present as solid vertical bar. If a number other than zero is
entered, the cursor blinks much faster than it used to but changing the numbers
do not slow down or speed up the blink rate. If you want solid use 0. If you
want fast, use a different number.
Also, the following Internet Browsers still give me a standard blinking cursor
just as they always have:
FireFox
Chrome
Opera
The Falkon Internet browser respects the 0 I entered in to ~/.config/kdeglobals
and gives me a solid bar.
EXPECTED RESULT
It would be very nice if users had the option to at least have the ability to
select "Cursor Blinks - Yes/No" from the same GUI they can select whether they
would like NumLock to be ON or OFF during boot or the keyboard repeat rate in
KDE.
