How can I make the cursor flash?

[elcuco]

You'd have to run a timer to turn the cursor on and off. Anyways, have you noticed upcoming QPlainTextEdit?

Now my code contains these ugly lines:

#if QT_VERSION >= 0x040400
#	define	QTextEditorControl	QPlainTextEdit
#	warning	"Using QPlainTextEdit as the text editor control"
#else
#	define	QTextEditorControl	QTextEdit
#endif

#if QT_VERSION >= 0x040400
#	define	QTextEditorControl	QPlainTextEdit
#	warning	"Using QPlainTextEdit as the text editor control"
#else
#	define	QTextEditorControl	QTextEdit
#endif

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

(it crashes, but I will figure out whats wrong with it eventually)
