description: "Text cursor blinking
- _true_ normal cursor behavior (interactive blink)
- _false_ never blink (always on)

The default of _true_ is the user-expected system behavior for Text editing.

Typically you should not set _false_ outside of screenshot tests without also providing a
`cursorBrush` to `BasicTextField` to implement a custom design"
