Summary

Analyze keywords

This extension removes the cursor blink within Google Docs. The cursor blink speed is set to 0, allow for the text caret to remain, but be static.

UPDATE 1.0.1:

Websites using Monaco cursor are supported (ie. Leetcode)

If needed outside of Google Docs and on a Windows machine, it is recommended to use the default "Change cursor blink rate" feature in Windows and adjust the value to None. This will not work on all text boxes on all webpages in Chrome but this extension will be revisited in the future to address this. Additional information can be found at the link below:

I have severe Misokinesia and I was about to go insane over the constant blinking of the cursor, but then I found this. Words cant express how much I appreciate this extension! THANK YOU!!!!!

Alex Brown, 2024-03-21

Works exactly as described! Thank you so much! This is an accessibility issue for me, and this "small" change makes a massive difference in my everyday life. I would love to see this expanded to all of Chrome (and potentially made for ChromeOS, as I primarily use a Chromebook, and it doesn't offer a system-wide option to disable cursor blink).
