Intellij IDEA: how to changing blinking cursor to non-blinking?

Tags:

I have vim emulator turned on, which is the desired behavior; turning it off only changes the blinking, block cursor into a blinking, non-block cursor.

Case 1: block cursor is set be default. Case 2: you are in Overwrite mode. Assign shortcut to Preferences -> Keymap -> Toggle Insert/Overwrite action and press shortcut.

You can turn off cursor blinking by going to Settings, Editor, General, Appearance and untick Caret blinking

comment of @errikos above

Instead of navigating the settings with clicks only, you may also type caret blink into the search field. This way you let IDEA do the search work for you ;)
