I believe that supporting different cursor shapes is a good idea. I'm not sure about blinking cursor. Currently the cursor is part of the terminal texture, so updating it would cause the entire scene to be redrawn (quite heavy).

Does that mean any time we type anything the whole scene is redrawn?

I have implemented this functionality in .

That's a valid point but the cursor does only blink if the window is focused and in this case, the user is probably typing anyway which also casts redraws. Also, the 500 ms default blink interval is much longer than the ones of most other effects.
