Set cursor blink in Grok Build
cursor_blink under [ui] forces a blinking or steady block cursor in the TUI. When the key is unset, Build inherits whatever your terminal already does. Official: Settings reference.

Pitfalls
- Editing project
.grok/config.tomlfor[ui]— user config only. - Expecting
cursor_blinkto change the host terminal’s global cursor — it only affects Grok Build’s TUI cursor.
