Bye Blinking Cursor

Life without a blinking cursor is much better, more peaceful, surprisingly calming. I never considered such a thing before reading the comments here. I found an old thread on the dev alias, by Emilian Bold (here), and now my cursor doesn't blink at all anymore.

Here's the whole module, with all the code (i.e., set blink rate per editor type) in its simplest implementation (i.e., without Options window extension):

Hoping to see this functionality (within the Options window) as a standard part of NetBeans IDE.

Thank you. Is there any settings to make the cursor a solid block instead of a line?
