Mark Summerfield <m...@qtrac.eu> added the comment: Py2.6: idlelib/EditorWindow.py
change line 110 from: width=self.width, to: width=self.width, insertofftime=0, Py3.0 apply the same change to line 112 This will switch off cursor blink (and annoy people who want cursor blink). So really instead of setting it to 0 you should set it to a variable. On Windows the Win32 API has a function you can call to find out the user's preferred blink rate and you can use that. On Mac OS X there's no such thing so you would need to add an option to IDLE's configuration dialog. On Linux the .Xdefaults file should be read and *insertOffTime respected. But since for Mac you have to add it to the configuration dialog, it might just be easier to just do that for all platform a simple [ ] blinking cursor check box would suffice. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4630> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
