Well, yes there used to be an option for adjusting the cursor blinking rate, but since virtually nobody was using it we removed it as part of the ongoing effort for removing the advanced options altogether. You are right that the editor cursor blinking is faster than eg in the rename dialog. IIRC the rate is 300ms, but that's just a number and we can surely slow it down. I do wonder how you're able measure how many people are using a feature. Googling around shows there are a couple of other people who like to adjust the cursor blink rate in NetBeans. But as I said, the best would be to use the system default where available, that's what it's for. Meanwhile, I found a workaround by inserting <property class="java.lang.Integer" name="caret-blink-rate" value="[my preferred blink rate]"/> in the properties.xml files of all mime types, but that's not exactly pretty. For a plugin, see http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=nbdev&msgNo=39586. BTW, I think we need a way to have several another properties as a easy way, for example, the user.name property and so on, which was removed too from Advanced Option. IMHO, Advanced Options don't need to be removed, or we will need a Advanced tab for Miscellaneous category soon, to make this kind of property available. Regards. Using the Swing's default blink rate unless specified otherwise. changeset aa54972b8bdd in main details: http://hg.netbeans.org/main?cmd=changeset;node=aa54972b8bdd Verified in 6.1 Beta (Build 200803050202). |
