		Perceptes on Aug 14, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Blinking Commits This works for me in OS X's built-in Terminal app, but not iTerm. Both report xterm-256color as $TERM, so I'm not sure what about iTerm is configured differently to prevent it from working there.

iTerm2 has an option in your Profile: Text tab > Text Rendering: "Blinking Text Allowed"

Off by default; enable and blink like its 1989.
