How do I disable the blinking cursor in gnome-terminal?

I could have sworn that there was once a setting for this in the gnome-terminal "Profile".

And then in some version of Ubuntu, that setting disappeared, and I had to use System ➜ Preferences ➜ Keyboard to uncheck "Cursor blinks in text fields".

Well, neither of those seems to be working now. So how do I make the cursor stop blinking?

On Ubuntu Mate 20.04, the setting is at org.mate.interface cursor-blink. You can use dconf-editor to navigate there and set it to false, or

gsettings set org.mate.interface cursor-blink false
