Hello everyone,

How to change the rate of cursor blinking in NetBeans to make the blinking rate is more slower the the curent blinking rate?

I use Windows 10 and I use Apache NetBeans IDE 20

I don't think there is a setting for this in the UI but you can change it in the config file.

open:
[netbeans-config]/[version]/config/Editors/Preferences/org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomPreferences.xml

and add this entry if it isn't there yet:

    <entry javaType="java.lang.Integer" name="caret-blink-rate" xml:space="preserve"><value>1000</value></entry>

the value represents the blinking delay in ms.

The Help->About window would dispaly the config folder location.

My problem is solved since some days, so I'm sorry for replying late, actually what I did is by depending on the following website:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6324058/how-to-change-caret-cursor-blinking-rate-in-netbeans

and what I did is same or similar to what you said.

Thank you so much for your help.
