This thread has inspired me to experiment with manually going like this:
Shift-Left Arrow Right Arrow Shift-Left Arrow Right Arrow
... Repeat as necessary. The effect is exactly the same as a blinking block cursor.
Now, how to automate that? Unfortunately, I don't think a TextMate macro can include a "delay" or "sleep" command. But AppleScript can!
tell application "TextMate" to activate tell application "System Events" tell application process "TextMate" delay 1 repeat 3 times key code 123 using shift down do shell script "sleep 0.5" key code 124 do shell script "sleep 0.5" end repeat end tell end tell
It's easy to trigger that with, say, a keyboard shortcut, and so the problem is effectively solved. m.
