Add option to turn off selection cursor blink in input

[dangooddd]

Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

Search, find and other popups got cursor blink (or some sort of animation). I thought that it can be changed in theme.toml [input] -> selected field, but changing anything here does nothing to ui.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

Add option to theme.toml that turn off cursor blink animation.
If it exist, add some guidelines for it in documentation

Additional context

No response

I figured out what selected field in theme.toml does, and it don't change cursor behavior

I don't quite understand what you mean, can you record a gif?

[dangooddd]

Sorry, hope here you understand! (in find popup there is cursor animation, quality is bad but in reality animation faster ofc).

I see, but Yazi doesn’t add a blinking to the cursor. I think it largely depends on your terminal style/config - what terminal are you using? Is it the same with other terminals?

My terminal (kitty) looks like :

idk why, but wezterm draws blinking cursor in all yazi's input popups. But disabling blinking globally is not a great solution. Can it be changed in other way?

And also, it seems like you also got some sort of blink, or i misunderstand it

Checked out foot, also got blinking in input fields. I mean is there a way to make cursor in input field completely constant? Maybe add settings group for cursor in theme.toml (it will be nice!) ?

• alacritty
• st
• kitty
• xterm
