A Blinking Block NOR, INS, or SEL mode caret / cursor

[AddictArts]

On Windows it may only be that the block does not blink. The bar does blink for example in INS and config setup that way.

It would be nice to have in NOR for my config a blinking cursor, which enable finding it easier. It would also be nice if it stopped blinking when its terminal does not have focus.

This is a terminal limitation. We can't control the cursor behaviour.

Maybe, I'm not convinced at least for Windows Terminal preview. I've added to the settings this:

    "profiles": 
    {
        "defaults": 
        {
		"cursorShape": "filledBox",

After which the cursor was solid and blinked. So, it should be available since Helix actually turns the blink off, but my understanding is it uses its own cursor render, so maybe not the terminal?

You actually touch cursor quite a lot (reseting it's shape), see #6565.
