According to https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/675.md it is now
possible to control cursor blink in ttk widgets.

I often use both tk and ttk widgets (e.g., tk.text and ttk.entry) and
don't want cursor blink in either.

My understanding is that to achieve this I should now start my
applications with these lines, the first for tk widgets and the second for
ttk widgets:

```
option add *insertOffTime 0
ttk::style configure . -insertofftime 0
```

Is this correct, or is there a better way?

PS I know that most people find blinking cursors very helpful, but some
people cannot work with them, see, e.g., https://jurta.org/en/prog/noblink

Yes, I would say that's correct.
