How do I stop the VS Code cursor from blinking? What's the right option in settings.json?

Solution

  • Add the following line to your settings.json (to open it, press CMD/Ctrl + Shift + P and type "Settings"):

      "editor.cursorBlinking": "solid",

    The default editor settings and their options are documented at VS Code Default Settings.

    An alternative is to use the graphical settings editor.
