No offense, but it's a bad idea. Stephan is right - it's a bug. Users rightly associate a blinking cursor with the location where text will appear when keys are pressed. If there is only one target for keyboard events in the system, it should be reflected visually as well. Having a checkbox in the preferences panel also goes against the general Be way of doing settings - sensible defaults and only having the preferences that are most useful. --DarkWyrm
