If you add both of the following to “Settings - User”, you can get it be be blinky and wide at the same time:
[code]“caret_style”: “phase”
“wide_caret”: true[/code]
Check the “Settings - Default” and search for “caret_style” for more options on the rate and style of blinking. The only other thing I’ve thought to do is alter the caret color in your preferred color scheme. I have mine set to some horrendously bright color so that it always galares out of the monitor.
