Could the cursor use blinking rate from drawSelection?

[krassowski]

Currently the cursor blinking rate is hard-coded:

codemirror-vim/src/block-cursor.ts

Lines 65 to 67 in 2f87179

	setBlinkRate() {
	this.cursorLayer.style.animationDuration = 1200 + "ms"
	}

Would it be a good idea to try matching the current setting as configured in drawSelection extension?

This sounds like a good idea, but do you know any non-hacky way to get that value from codemirror? The only solution i know so far is to do drawSelection()[0].facet ignoring the typing errors, which is not very good.

I think it should be available from cm.view.state.facet(selectionConfig) but selectionConfig is not currently exported. I asked on the forum: https://discuss.codemirror.net/t/how-to-get-cursor-blinking-rate-in-another-extension/7077

It should be possible to use getDrawSelectionConfig function in future versions, see https://discuss.codemirror.net/t/how-to-get-cursor-blinking-rate-in-another-extension/7077/5
