cursor style not working for terminado's demo: echo -e "\e[2 q"

[hyperpallium]

I want to stop the cursor blinking.

Inspecting xtermjs source, it does seem to implement DECSCUSR \e[# q (# = [0-6], e.g. echo -e "\e[2 q" is a steady block) in InputHandler.ts, but it has no effect in the single.py demo.
It starts with a blinking solid block, and none of the choices have any effect.

Oh, and I see where suggested (BTW typo in the eg, missing space, should be echo -e "\e[5 q"), then implemented.

How to make echo -e "\e[2 q" work? (equivalent to \033[2 q, or \x1b[2 q), to stop the cursor blinking?
I wouldn't think it's because of terminado, but maybe it is? Maybe they use xtermjs before this, [from >1 year ago?

Works for me on my macbook, must be terminado or your environment filtering it out? Also on mac you need to change \e to \x1b, maybe that's the problem?

Also, there is an API you can use which is the standard way for the terminal to set this:

term.setOption('cursorBlink', false);

@Tyriar Thanks, looks like it's terminado. It works in my normal terminal - that would have the same environment, wouldn't it? I had tried all variants (\e, \x1b, \033).

Unfortunately, the API call also didn't work. I tried three different ways to access term, using terminado's demo as an example.

I also noticed that control keys don't work, which is a showstopper for my usages.

There are a few code layers here, and looks it would require careful study to get on top of it. It's a shame it doesn't "just work", but it is a pretty amazing concept, to have a full terminal in a browser.

@hyperpallium I would expect it to act like attach (which the demo uses), but I know next to nothing about what terminado does.
