Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: macOS 13.1
- Hyper.app version: 3.4.1
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes
Issue
Linux/macOS/Unix shell supports an escape sequence to blink a text, like the color escape codes. Windows should have something like that too.
For example, when I run the command echo -e "\033[5mBlink" in the native "Terminal" App on macOS, it outputs "Blink" which is flashing. Running the same command in Hyper just outputs "Blink" with no flashing.
Tested with sh and zsh.

Research direction
Start by reproducing echo -e "\033[5mBlink" in Hyper on macOS or a Unix shell, then trace how ANSI escape sequences are handled during terminal rendering. Done means the blink style is rendered in Hyper and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test if the existing test suite supports it.
