Description

I am using the vim emulation, and I would really like to have a non-blinking cursor in normal mode. I tried many settings but they make the cursor in insert mode also non-blinking. Would really like this...
Thanks in advance

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the Vim emulation's handling of cursor settings and the distinction between normal and insert modes. Done means normal mode can use a non-blinking cursor without changing insert mode's cursor behavior.
