Hi, We've introduced caret-color in css-ui level 3, and named it caret-color rather than caret so that we could later introduce caret as a short-hand for caret-color and other caret controlling properties. I've now added to css-ui level 4 this shorthand and a draft text for 2 additional properties to control the shape and the blinking of the caret. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ui-4/#insertion-caret This is something Bloomberg is interested in implementing. Also you don't have to look very far of the web to find evidence that this is something that people want to control: http://www.xanthir.com/ (fake non-blinking underscore caret) http://www.glazman.org/ (fake non-blinking underscore caret) http://shachi.prophp.org/demo.html (js-based non-blinking block caret) http://www.masswerk.at/jsuix/index.html (js-based blinking block caret) http://jsbin.com/ehuki3/3/ (js-based blinking block caret) http://terminal.jcubic.pl/ (js-based blinking block caret) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3758023/how-to-use-this-square-cursor-in-a-html-input-field https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7339333/styling-text-input-caret https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6092963/can-i-change-the-blinking-caret-in-a-form-text-area-in-a-browser https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-change-the-appearance-of-the-caret-in-a-text-input-area http://discourse.codenewbie.org/t/need-some-help-creating-a-blinking-cursor-using-css/254 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18138762/replace-blinking-text-cursor-with-custom-char Feedback welcome. - Florian
