Description magiblot 2023-01-11 00:15:57 UTC 
Konsole supports changing the cursor shape and blinking through the DECSCUSR escape sequences.

However, Ncurses applications that rely on the `curs_set` function to change the cursor appearance do not use these sequences but DECSET/DECRST 12 instead, which Konsole currently ignores.

According to https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html:

> CSI ? Pm h
>         DEC Private Mode Set (DECSET).
>           Ps = 1 2  ⇒  Start blinking cursor (AT&T 610).

Therefore, supporting these sequences would allow Ncurses applications to enable cursor blinking in Konsole.

Thank you very much.
