Cursor
An in-line blinking cursor widget — a visible insertion point that isn't tied to the real terminal cursor. Perfect for building text editors, prompts, or any UI that needs its own caret. Choose block, underline or bar.
Install the package
Every component ships in the single dart_tui package.

mode: CursorMode.block, // block █, underline _, or bar |
blink: true, // toggles on every TickMsg
);
// Forward TickMsg to make it blink, then embed in your view:
final rendered = 'hello${cursor.view().content}world'; // → hello█worldCursorModel
